Case Note & Summary
The matter involved an application for correction of a typographical error in a judgment delivered by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. The appellant, represented by multiple advocates, pointed out that the judgment pronounced on 21.08.2026 incorrectly listed Mr. Arpit Singhvi as the counsel for the appellant instead of the actual advocates who represented the appellant during the hearing on 29.07.2026. The tribunal noted that the error was purely clerical and did not impact the merits of the judgment. After reviewing the relevant orders and the judgment, the tribunal agreed with the appellant's counsel that the name should be corrected to reflect the actual advocates present. Consequently, the tribunal disposed of the application by ordering that the names of Mr. Harshit Khare, Mr. Prafful Saini, Mr. Ayuj Agrawal, and Mr. Brijesh Gupta be substituted in place of Mr. Arpit Singhvi in the judgment. The tribunal also directed that if a certified copy of the judgment had already been issued, it should be corrected in accordance with this order.
