Holding
The Court may correct a clerical mistake in its own order under its inherent jurisdiction.
Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited filed an interim application seeking correction of a clerical mistake in the Court's order dated 24 September 2026, where the Court Receiver Report was incorrectly cited as No.498 of 2026 instead of No.498 of 2025. The plaintiff argued that the error was purely typographical and did not affect the substantive rights of the parties. The Court examined its inherent power to amend its own orders to rectify clerical errors under the Civil Procedure Code. It held that such correction does not require a fresh hearing and can be done suo motu. Consequently, the Court ordered the correction of the reference number and directed that the corrected order be uploaded.
