Holding
The court held that a clerical error in the appearance column may be corrected without prejudice to the parties.
Summary
The petitioner, Chandrabhan Ramdev Singh, attended the hearing on 6 February 2026, but the stenographer erroneously recorded the name of another individual, Mr. Rajaram Jainandan Yadav, as being present. The petitioner moved the court seeking a correction of the appearance column in the order dated 6 February 2026. The court examined the claim of a clerical mistake and, recognizing that such errors do not affect substantive rights, allowed the correction. The judges directed that the appearance column be amended to reflect the correct name of the petitioner and that the corrected order be uploaded. No substantive legal issues beyond the correction of the record were raised.
Issues considered
- Whether the appearance column in the order dated 6 February 2026 can be corrected to rectify a clerical error?
