HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO
09.09.2024
Heard Mr. A I Ali, learned counsel for the applicant, who submits that by filing this application, the applicant seeks the correction of the figures “Rs. 1,25,345” appearing in the Order dated 28.05.2024, in connection with WP(C) No. 6380/2023 as “Rs. 12,53,455”.
The learned counsel submits that the said figure may be corrected as they have been inadvertently reflected in paragraph Nos. 2 & 3 of the said order.
Upon perusal of the application and after hearing the learned counsels for the parties, it only appears that a clerical mistake has been committed.
In view of above, the figures “Rs. 1,25,345” appearing at paragraph Nos. 2 & 3 of the Order dated 28.05.2024 in WP(C) No. 6380/2023 shall be read as “Rs. 12,53,455” for all purpose.
I.A stands disposed of as allowed.
