Holding

The Court may correct its own order to reflect the intended requirement of "one or more sureties" upon a valid praecipe.

Summary

The applicant, Viresh Gangaram Joshi, filed a bail application before the Bombay High Court. The order dated 17.08.2026 stipulated that the applicant furnish "one surety" under clause 8(ii). The applicant subsequently filed a praecipe on 21.08.2026 seeking to amend the wording to "one or more sureties". The Court, after hearing the applicant's counsel, allowed the correction, directing that the order be amended accordingly while leaving the remainder of the order unchanged. The praecipe was then disposed.

  • praecipe
