order.The settled position of law is that after the
passing of the judgment, decree or order, the same
becomes final subject to any further avenues of
remedies provided in respect of the same and the very
court or the tribunal cannot, on mere change of view, is
not entitled to vary the terms of the judgments, decrees
and orders earlier passed except by means of review, if
statutorily provided specifically therefor and subject to
the conditions or limitations provided therein. The
powers under Section 152 of the Code are neither to be
equated with the power of review nor can be said to be
akin to review or even said to clothe the court
concerned under the guise of invoking after the result
of the judgment earlier rendered, in its entirety or any
portion or part of it. The corrections contemplated are
of correcting only accidental omissions or mistakes
and not all omissions and mistakes which might have
been committed by the court while passing the
judgment, decree or order. The omission sought to be
corrected which goes to the merits of the case is
beyond the scope of Section 152as if it is looking into
it for the first time, for which the proper remedy for the
aggrieved party, if at all, is to file an appeal or revision
before the higher forum or review application before
the very forum, subject to the limitations in respect of
such review. It implies that the section cannot be
pressed into service to correct an omission which is
intentional, however erroneous that may be. It has been
noticed that the courts below have been liberally
construing and applying the provisions of Sections 151
and 152 of the Code even after passing of effective
orders in the lis pending before them. No court can,
under the cover of the aforesaid sections, modify, alter
or add to the terms of its original judgment, decree or
