Bombay High Court

NAZIR KADIR SHIKHversusJAITUN MAMUD SHAIKH (SINCE DECEASED, THR HIS HRS AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVESAND) ORS

Decided: 13 January 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: MILIND N JADHAV

Holding

The court held that the clerical errors in the appearance clause and paragraph references must be corrected and a fresh copy of the order uploaded.

Summary

The petitioner filed a writ petition and a praecipe was filed on 17 January 2026 seeking clarification of the order dated 13 January 2026. The court observed that the name of the advocate, Mr. Manish S. Kelkar, was incorrectly recorded in the appearance clause and in paragraph references, listing the wrong respondent numbers. The issue before the court was whether these clerical errors should be rectified. The court reasoned that accurate recording of parties and counsel is essential for the integrity of the order. Consequently, the court ordered that the necessary corrections be made in the original order, a fresh copy be uploaded, and the praecipe be disposed.
