Holding
The Court allowed the correction of the cause title and the amendment of the Divisional Commissioner’s designation.
Summary
The petitioners, Appasaheb Karbhari Kasar (through his attorney) and Changdeo s/o Karbhari Kasar, filed writ petitions (Nos. 673 of 2016 and 12497 of 2015) challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The Court issued an order on 02‑04‑2026. The petitioners sought a correction to the cause title of Writ Petition No. 12497 of 2015 and to replace the reference “Divisional Commissioner, Aurangabad” with “Divisional Commissioner, Nashik”. The Court considered whether such procedural corrections could be made without affecting the substantive merits of the petitions. It held that the correction of the cause title and the designation of the Divisional Commissioner was permissible. Accordingly, the Court ordered that the corrections be made and the corrected copy be uploaded.
Issues considered
- Whether the Court may order correction of the cause title in a writ petition
- Whether the reference to the Divisional Commissioner can be amended from Aurangabad to Nashik
Subjects
- writ petition
- procedural correction
- cause title
- divisional commissioner
