Holding
No correction order is required as the anticipatory bail order correctly records the petitioner’s village as per the application.
Summary
The petitioner, Abhishek Kumar, had been granted anticipatory bail on 19‑January‑2026. During the hearing, counsel pointed out a discrepancy in the village name, claiming the order mistakenly recorded “Ismailpur” instead of “Ismailchak”. The court examined the order and found that the village name was correctly recorded as “Ismailpur”, matching the description in the bail application. It was determined that the alleged error originated from a misstatement by counsel, not from the court’s order. Consequently, the court held that no correction or further order was necessary. The matter was therefore concluded without any additional direction.
Issues considered
- Whether the anticipatory bail order contains a clerical error in the petitioner’s village name
- Whether a correction order is required when the alleged error is not present in the court’s order
Subjects
- anticipatory bail
- clerical error
- court order correction
- criminal procedure

ORAL ORDER
4 24-02-2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and
learned A.P.P. for the State.
2. The case was directed to be listed under the
heading “To be mentioned” based on mentioning made by the
learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. The
learned counsel yesterday mentioned the case stating that the
petitioner was granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by an
order dated 19-1-2026, but while describing the petitioner
inadvertently his village has been recorded as “Ismailpur”, when
it is “Ismailchak”, on which the Court made a pertinent query
that as to whether the fault has been committed while typing the
order or the defect is in the petition, on which the learned
counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner very fairly stated
that error has been committed during typing of the order dated
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83523 of 2025(4) dt.24-02-2026

19-1-2026, as in the petition, the village of the petitioner has
been correctly described.
3. Today when the case is taken up, it is found that
there is no error in the order dated 19-1-2026, the village of the
petitioner has been rightly recorded as “Ismailpur” and the same
is based on the description of the petitioner recorded in the
anticipatory bail application.
4. Since in the order dated 19-1-2026, the petitioner
has been described as per description given in the anticipatory
bail application, as such no order is required to be passed.
