Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India addressed an application filed by the respondent No.1 seeking correction of typographical errors in a judgment delivered on 18/02/2008. The application detailed specific errors, which included the duplication of paragraph 15 at pages 10 and 12, and an incorrect name of the learned senior counsel for the State in paragraph 39 at page 33. The learned counsel for the appellants reviewed the application and expressed no objection to the proposed corrections. Consequently, the court allowed the corrections to be made as indicated in the application. Additionally, the court noted that there were other mistakes that had come to light, including the need to renumber the duplicated paragraph as 15A and to correct the name of the counsel from Mr. P.B. Sawant to Mr. C.J. Sawant. The court directed that a certified copy of the corrected judgment be provided to the parties involved. Importantly, the court clarified that these corrections should not hinder the hearing of the appellants' application by the Bombay High Court regarding the examination of documents, which was scheduled for 16th April, 2008.
