Holding
A judicial order may be corrected to remedy a clerical error without affecting the substantive relief granted.
Summary
The applicant filed an anticipatory bail application, but the order dated 17 January 2026 incorrectly recorded his name as “Dilip Sopan Kolate” instead of “Dilip Sopan Kalate”. The applicant, through counsel, sought a correction of this clerical mistake. The court examined whether a judicial order could be amended to rectify a typographical error without affecting the substantive relief. It held that such correction is permissible as it does not alter the merits of the case. Consequently, the court directed that the order be corrected and the revised order uploaded.
