Holding
The court corrected the typographical error, changing the land area from 8 R to 80 R.
Summary
The appellants filed several first appeals against the State of Maharashtra. In First Appeal No. 966 of 2019, a typographical error in the judgment recorded the land area as "8 R" instead of the correct "80 R". The appellants, through counsel G. K. Sontakke, moved the court to correct this error. The bench, noting that the mistake was purely clerical and did not affect the substantive rights of the parties, ordered that the record be amended to read "80 R" and that the corrected copy be uploaded. The motion was thereafter disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether a typographical error in a judgment can be corrected by the court without fresh proceedings?
Subjects
- typographical error
- correction of judgment
- civil procedure
- land measurement
- High Court
