Holding
The court may correct an obvious typographical error in its judgment to reflect the correct appeal number.
Summary
The appellants filed a motion before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking correction of a typographical error in the court's judgment dated 27.02.2026. The error involved an incorrect appeal number recorded as First Appeal No. 1337/2024 in paragraph 37, which should have been First Appeal No. 1331/2024. The court examined whether such a clerical mistake could be rectified without affecting the substantive merits of the case. Finding the mistake obvious and purely typographical, the court held that correction was permissible under its inherent powers. Consequently, the court ordered the replacement of the erroneous number with the correct one and directed that a corrected copy be uploaded. The motion was thereafter disposed of.
