- Disposal
- PARTLY ALLOWED AND PARTLY DISMISSED
Holding
The Court held that a clear typographical error in the order may be corrected, and therefore amended the land area from “8 R” to “80 R”.
Summary
The appellants filed a motion before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking correction of a typographical error in the chart of the order dated 1 October 2026. The chart erroneously recorded the area of land in First Appeal No. 966 of 2019 as “8 R” instead of the correct “80 R”. The learned Advocate for the appellants, G. K. Sontakke, highlighted this mistake and requested that the court amend the order accordingly. The Court examined the claim and, finding it to be a pure clerical error, allowed the correction. Consequently, the Court ordered that the area be changed to “80 R”, the corrected copy be uploaded, and the motion be disposed of.
