Holding
A court may amend its own order to rectify clerical and typographical errors without affecting the substantive adjudication.
Summary
The High Court of Bombay entertained a praecipe filed on 28 September 2026 seeking correction of clerical errors in its earlier order dated 17 September 2026 in Civil Revision Application No.442 of 2023. The applicant, Macrotech Developers Limited, through Advocate Ms. Rashmi Dhongde, pointed out two specific mistakes: an incorrect date ‘04.12.2023’ and an erroneous reference to ‘District Jude, Nashik’. The Court examined the praecipe, confirmed that the errors were purely typographical and did not affect the substantive rights of the parties. It directed that the date be corrected to ‘04.01.2023’ and the reference changed to ‘Civil Judge Senior Division, Pune’. The corrected order was to be uploaded and the praecipe was thereafter disposed.
