Holding
The date of Order No.3 shall be treated as 20-04-2026, correcting the typographical error.
Summary
The petitioners Vikas, Kiran and Riya filed a criminal miscellaneous petition before the Patna High Court seeking correction of a typographical error in Order No.3 dated 20-04-2026. The order mistakenly recorded the date as 18-04-2026 and was also uploaded with the wrong date on the court website. The Court, exercising its inherent power to correct clerical mistakes, held that the date should be treated as 20-04-2026. It directed that the correction be reflected in the official order and on the website. No substantive rights of the parties were affected by the correction. The order otherwise remains unchanged.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can correct a typographical error in the date of its own order without a fresh hearing
Subjects
- typographical error
- correction of order
- inherent jurisdiction
- criminal miscellaneous petition
- Patna High Court

ORAL ORDER
4 24-04-2026 This matter has been listed under the heading ‘To
Be Mentioned’ for correction of the typographical error crept in
the order No. 3 passed on 20.04.2026 inasmuch as though the
matter was listed on 20.04.2026 and order No.3 was passed on

‘20.04.2026’ and the same has also been uploaded on the
website of the Court.
2. Accordingly, the date of order No. 3 passed in this
case shall be treated to have been passed on ‘20.04.2026’ in
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.36777 of 2024(4) dt.24-04-2026

place of ‘18.04.2026’ and shall be read accordingly. Rest of the
