- PARTLY ALLOWED AND PARTLY DISMISSED
Holding
The court may correct a typographical error in its order to reflect the true intention of the parties.
Summary
The appellants filed several first appeals (Nos. 964-969 of 2019) against the State of Maharashtra. In the course of the proceedings, a typographical error was identified in the chart of First Appeal No. 966, where the land area was recorded as "8 R" instead of the correct "80 R". The appellants, through Advocate G. K. Sontakke, moved the court seeking correction of this error. The bench, presided over by Justice Ajit B. Kadethankar, examined the motion and found no substantive prejudice, allowing the correction to reflect the true facts. Accordingly, the court ordered that the chart be amended to read "80 R" and that the corrected copy be uploaded. The motion was thereafter disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether a typographical error in a court's order can be corrected under the court's inherent powers?
