Holding
The Court held that the order should be corrected to reflect the accurate disposal date of 10 April 2026 as a permissible clerical amendment.
Summary
The High Court of Bombay considered a batch of writ petitions (including WP No. 4081 of 2024 and several related petitions) after receiving an office note indicating that the date of disposal recorded in the earlier order was incorrect. The note stated that the correct disposal date should be 10 April 2026 instead of 10 March 2026. The Court examined whether it could amend the order to reflect the accurate date without reopening the merits of the petitions. Relying on procedural rules allowing correction of clerical errors, the Court ordered that the date in the order be corrected to 10 April 2026 and that the corrected order be uploaded. No further orders were issued, and the petitions were deemed disposed.
Issues considered
- Can the Court correct a clerical error in the date of disposal of a previously issued order?
- Does correcting the date affect the substantive disposition of the writ petitions?
Subjects
- date correction
- clerical error
- procedural amendment
- writ petition
- High Court of Bombay
