The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court declared the 2011 appointment of four civil judges illegal due to a recruitment error, holding, “We have no hesitation to say that the appointment of the petitioners was not only irregular but illegal.”
The Supreme Court of India ruled that once a bail order is signed, it cannot be recalled or reversed due to a staff member’s typing mistake. Invoking Section 362 CrPC, the Court restored anticipatory bail, holding that changing “allowed” to “rejected” amounts to an illegal review, not a clerical correction.
