Holding
The court ordered that the petitioner’s name be corrected to ‘Rahul Prasad Yadav’ in the cause title and the earlier order, and allowed the modification petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Rahul Prasad Yadav, filed a criminal miscellaneous petition seeking modification of an earlier order dated 11‑08‑2025 to correct a clerical error in his name and to extend the period for surrender. The earlier order mistakenly recorded his name as “Rahul Prasad Yadav @ Lalu Prasad Yadaw.” By submitting a supplementary affidavit, the petitioner requested deletion of the alias portion. The Court examined whether such a correction could be ordered and considered the request for extension of surrender. It held that the name in the cause title and the order should be read as “Rahul Prasad Yadav,” thereby correcting the error. The petition for modification was allowed, and the earlier order was modified only to the extent of the name correction.
