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.
Supreme Court rules that a typographical error is no defence; cheque bounce complaint is invalid if the demand notice shows a wrong cheque amount, clarifying legal procedures and liabilities.
The Supreme Court said it will correct a typographical mistake in its judgment on the Waqf Amendment Act order. It noted that “Paragraph 178 referenced an incorrect section,” after advocate Sneha Kalita flagged the error before the bench.
