Bombay High Court
IMRAN KHAN NOORKHA PATHAN AND OTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHER
- Disposal
- APPLICATION ALLOWED
Holding
The court held that a mere clerical mistake in naming the magistrate can be corrected without affecting the substantive relief, and ordered the correction.
Summary
The applicants, Imran Khan Noorkha Pathan and others, filed a criminal application seeking the quashment of proceedings pending before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Parbhani. In the order dated 03.09.2026, the court inadvertently recorded the name of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Aurangabad instead of Parbhani. The applicants moved a suo moto application to correct this typographical error. The bench observed that the mistake was purely clerical and did not affect the substantive relief sought. Consequently, the court directed that the necessary correction be made and a fresh order be uploaded, and the motion was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether a typographical error in the description of the concerned magistrate in a court order warrants correction.
Subjects
- court order correction
- typographical error
- judicial magistrate
- procedural correction
