Holding

The court may correct a clerical omission of an advocate's name in its order without prejudice to the parties.

Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court seeking correction of an order dated 20 August 2026, which omitted the name of Advocate Ravindra S. Pachundkar for Respondent Nos.6, 7 and 9. The petitioner requested that the order be amended to include the advocate's name and that the corrected order be uploaded on the court's website. The court considered whether such a procedural correction could be made without affecting the substantive rights of the parties. It held that the order could be corrected to reflect the proper advocate representation as it was a clerical matter and caused no prejudice. Accordingly, the order was corrected, the revised order uploaded, and the praecipe disposed.
