Holding

A typographical mistake in the recorded date of a court order may be corrected by issuing a fresh order.

Summary

The petitioner filed Writ Petition No.1759 of 2025 before the High Court of Bombay. The Registry noted that the order dated 16 February 2026 contained a typographical error, as the hearing was listed for 17 February 2026. The issue before the Court was whether the clerical mistake in the recorded date could be rectified. The Court reasoned that such a mistake does not affect the substantive rights of the parties and may be corrected by issuing a fresh order. Consequently, the Court ordered that the date be corrected to 17 February 2026 and a fresh order be uploaded.
