Holding
The Court modified the bail order to correct the father's name in the cause title.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Azad, had been granted bail by the Patna High Court on 27 January 2026. He later discovered that the cause title of the bail order incorrectly listed his father's name as 'S/O Jasina Khatun' instead of the correct 'S/O Md. Rafique @ Rafeeq Shaikh'. The petitioner, through counsel, filed an application seeking rectification of this typographical error. The Court examined the records and found that the mistake originated from the Stamp Reporting Section while drafting the cause title. Consequently, the Court ordered that the father's name be corrected in the cause title of the bail order and modified the order to reflect this change. The Office was directed to implement the correction.

petitioner was granted bail by this Court vide order dated

@ Rafeeq Shaikh’ in the cause title of the said order, although it
has been correctly mentioned in the petition. Accordingly, a
prayer has been made for rectification of the order dated
