Decided: 13 January 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: M S KARNIK S M MODAK

Holding

The Court may correct clerical errors in its orders without prejudice to the parties, and ordered the specified amendments.

Summary

The petitioner, Kaustubh Pramod Phulkar, filed a writ petition seeking correction of typographical and factual errors in a prior order dated 13 January 2026. The petitioner requested specific amendments: changing a date from 10.10.2008 to 02.12.2000, correcting a year from 2022 to 2019, and rectifying a name from 'Mr. Saurabh Pramod Phulkar' to 'Mr. Pramod Namdeorao Phulkar', as well as updating the order on the court website. The Court examined the petition and, finding the errors to be clerical and not affecting substantive rights, allowed the corrections. The judges directed that the original order be amended accordingly and the corrected version uploaded as Order No.2. The petition was thereby disposed of after the corrections were ordered.
