Bombay High Court

Anand Niketan CHS LimitedversusState of Maharshtra

Decided: 27 August 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court held that the typographical error ‘X‑1’ in paragraph 4 of its order dated 27 August 2026 is to be corrected to ‘X’.

Summary

Anand Niketan CHS Limited filed a writ petition challenging the State of Maharashtra and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The Court, on suo moto notice, discovered a typographical error in paragraph 4 of its order dated 27 August 2026 where ‘X‑1’ was printed instead of ‘X’. The petition sought correction of this mistake. The Court examined whether it could amend its own order to rectify the error without affecting the substantive relief. It concluded that correcting a clerical mistake does not alter the merits of the case and is permissible. Accordingly, the order was corrected to replace ‘X‑1’ with ‘X’ and the corrected order was to be uploaded. The petition was thereafter disposed.

Issues considered

Whether the typographical error ‘X‑1’ in paragraph 4 of the order dated 27 August 2026 warrants correction by the Court?
