Gauhati High Court, order dated 03.06.2026 (Manish Choudhury, J, with Pranjal Das, J) in I.A.(Civil)/1733/2026 arising out of WP(C)/6111/2025 (Jabbar Ali v. Union of India & Ors.). The applicant-writ petitioner, who by WP(C)/6111/2025 challenges the Order/Opinion dated 14.07.2022 of the Foreigners’ Tribunal (1st), Udalguri in F.T. Case No. 1081/2011 declaring him an illegal migrant of the post-25.03.1971 stream, sought rectification of his father's name in the Cause-Title from 'Late Keramot Ali' to 'Keramot Ali', the father being alive, averring the error to be inadvertent and typographical. Learned counsel for the opposite parties had no objection. Holding the error to be an inadvertent typographical error causing no prejudice to any party, the Court allowed the application, directed filing of an amended Cause-Title before the Registry within three working days, and directed the Registry to carry out the necessary correction in the Cause-Title and in the CIS.

¶28

The applicant as the writ petitioner has preferred a accompanying writ petition WP(C) No. 6111/2025 to assail an Order/Opinion dated 14.07.2022 passed by the Foreigners’ Tribunal (1^st ), Udalguri in F.T. Case No. 1081/2011 by which the applicant-writ petitioner has been declared as an illegal migrant of post 25.03.1971 stream.

¶29

The instant application is preferred seeking rectification of the name of the applicant-writ petitioner’s father in the Cause-Title of the accompanying writ petition WP(C)/6111/2025 wherein the name of the father of the applicant petitioner is written as ‘Late Keramot Ali’ instead of ‘Keramot Ali’ as the applicant-writ petitioner’s father, Keramot Ali is still alive. It is averred that the error so crept in is an inadvertent typographical.

¶30

As the error kept in a Cause-Title of the writ petition appears to an inadvertent typographical error, the learned counsel for the opposite parties have submitted that they have no objection if the instant application is allowed.

¶31

Accordingly, this Court is also of the considered view that the error crept in the Cause-Title of the accompanying writ petition is an inadvertent typographical error and if the instant application is allowed, no prejudice is going to be caused to any of the parties.

¶32

Accordingly, the instant application is allowed.
