The correction is sought on the ground of clerical error in the decree of the trial Court which has persisted in the decree in the aforesaid second appeal, in the decree of the trial court the date of the decision of the Rent Controller's court is mentioned to be 22-12-1953 factually it was not 22-12-1953 but it was 22-121952. This was not disputed. However the learned counsel for the opponent Mr. Saxena contends that the correction cannot now be made as the court should be taken to be functus officio by reason of the fact that the decree which is sought to be amended has been fully satisfied.
