Case Note & Summary
The case involved an interlocutory application for correcting typographical errors in a prior judgment delivered by the Supreme Court on November 25, 2008, in Civil Appeal No.6753 of 2008. The appellant was Narayan Prasad Lohia, and the respondent was Nikunj Kumar Lohia. During the proceedings, the court, upon hearing the arguments from both parties, identified two specific typographical errors that needed rectification. The first error was the omission of the phrase 'According to the appellant' before a sentence in paragraph 6 of the original judgment. The second error was a misstatement of a date in paragraph 13, where 'June 24, 2006' was to be corrected to 'June 24, 1996'. The court concluded that these corrections were necessary for the accurate representation of the judgment and directed the Registry to issue a corrigendum to reflect these changes. The order was delivered on December 17, 2009.
