In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court of India has held that
“modifying the entire reasoning in a criminal judgment cannot be classified as a mere clerical or arithmetical correction under Section 362 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC)”
The Apex Court allowed the criminal appeal challenging the Allahabad High Court’s decision that had revised its original judgment through a Criminal Miscellaneous Correction Application filed by the accused persons.
