The order dated 19.01.2026 is modified to correct the typographical errors identified by the petitioner.
Summary
The petitioner, Smt. Kamala Kumari, filed a writ petition challenging several typographical errors in the order dated 19.01.2026 issued by the Patna High Court. The errors included misnaming the school as "Girls Middle School" instead of "Girls Primary School", incorrectly stating "District Board Teacher" instead of "District Cadre Teacher", and misidentifying respondent No. 2 as respondent No. 5. The petitioner sought correction of these mistakes to reflect the true parties and facts. The Court examined the petition and found no substantive dispute, only clerical inaccuracies that required rectification. Accordingly, the Court modified the order to read the correct school name, correct the teacher designation, and correctly identify respondent No. 2, thereby disposing of the petition.
