- Decided
- Disposal
- Allowed
Holding
The court may correct a clerical error in its own order upon a proper praecipe.
Summary
The applicants filed a bail application and subsequently submitted a praecipe on 29 September 2026 seeking correction of a clerical error in the order dated 23 September 2026, where the name ‘Santosh Ramdas Mule’ was incorrectly recorded. The court examined the praecipe and the request to amend clause (i) of paragraph 12 on page 13 to replace the erroneous name with ‘Santosh Ramdas Barbade’. Relying on its inherent power to correct clerical mistakes, the court ordered that the correction be made in the original order and that the corrected order be uploaded. The court then disposed of the praecipe. No substantive legal issues beyond the correction of the record were raised, and the application was concluded without further hearing.
Issues considered
- Whether a clerical error in a judicial order can be corrected by a praecipe under the court's inherent powers
Subjects
- bail
- clerical error
- order correction
- criminal appellate jurisdiction
- praecipe
