Holding
The court may correct clerical errors in its own order to reflect the correct description of parties or counsel.
Summary
The Executive Engineer, Krishna Khore Mahamandal filed a motion to correct typographical errors in a court order dated 08.04.2026. The appellant’s counsel pointed out that the order mistakenly read “learned AGP” instead of “learned Advocate for the appellant/acquiring body”. The bench considered the submission and examined whether such a correction falls within the court’s inherent power to amend its own orders. It held that correcting a clerical mistake does not affect the substantive rights of the parties and may be done without a fresh hearing. Accordingly, the motion was allowed and the order was directed to be corrected and re‑uploaded. The corrected order will reflect the proper description of the appellant’s counsel.
