Holding
The Court held that the order dated 17 January 2026 may be corrected to reflect the proper names of the advocates and the motion for speaking to minutes is disposed.
Summary
The High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench, entertained a motion for "speaking to minutes" to correct clerical errors in an earlier order dated 17 January 2026 concerning several writ petitions filed by various petitioners against the State of Maharashtra. The error involved the incorrect listing of counsel names for respondent parties, specifically substituting "Ms. Sheetal Salunke" with "Mr. S.B. Pulkundwar" and vice‑versa. The Court examined whether such a correction could be made without altering the substantive merits of the petitions. It held that the order could be amended to reflect the correct names of the advocates, as the mistake was purely clerical and did not affect the rights of the parties. Consequently, the Court directed that the necessary corrections be incorporated, the corrected order be uploaded, and the motion for speaking to minutes be disposed of.
