Holding
The Court corrected the Special (POCSO) case number to “41 of 2026” and disposed of the Praecipe.
Summary
The applicant, Vishal Laxman Mhashal, filed Bail Application No. 1769 of 2026 before the High Court of Bombay. An interim application (Praecipe) was filed on 24 September 2026 to correct a clerical error in the earlier order dated 21 September 2026, where the Special (POCSO) case number was incorrectly recorded as “41 of 2025”. The applicant’s counsel, Ms. Shruti P. Ghodake, argued that the correct reference should be “41 of 2026”. The Court examined the submission and directed that the order be read with the corrected case number. Consequently, the Praecipe was disposed, and the original bail order stands with the amended reference.
