IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD
HASMUKH D. SUTHAR, J
JAYRAJBHAI DEVABHAI @ DEVKUBHAI VIKRAMA – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF GUJARAT – Respondent
R/SPECIAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION (QUASHING) NO. 12714 of 2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: MR. NIPUL H GONDALIA, MR.KISHAN PRAJAPATI
For the Respondents: MR ADITYA JADEJA, APP

The court emphasizes the limitation of notes for speaking to minutes only for typographical corrections, not for substantial modifications.

Headnote:This judgment pertains to a quashing petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution concerning an FIR filed for offenses under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The court finds that the petitioner is not named in the FIR nor involved directly in the alleged incident, which leads to the consideration of the petition. The legal issue framed involves the authorization of dismissing the speaking to minutes and emphasizes that a petitioner wanting to challenge the order must seek appropriate avenues beyond this petition. Ultimately, the court dismisses the petition for speaking to minutes.

ORAL ORDER

Present note for speaking to minutes is filed stating that instead of stay the proceeding against the petitioner somehow in the order it is mentioned that no coercive step shall be taken against the petitioner and has requested to pass appropriate order.

Perusing the record it appears that in view of judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Raghunath Sharma Vs. State of Haryana reported in 2025 INSC 723, and in case of Akhil Bhartvarshiya Marwari Agarwal Jatiya Kosh & Ors., Vs. Brijlal Tibrewal & Ors., reported in 2019 2 SCC 684, a note for speaking to Minutes is required to be entertained only for the limited purpose of correcting a typographical error or an error through oversight, which may have crept in while transcribing the original order. A note for speaking to Minutes cannot be considered at par with an application for clarification / modification of an order.

NEUTRAL CITATION
undefined
If the petitioner wants to challenge the said order then he has to file appropriate proceeding before the appropriate Court.

In view of above facts, the present note filed by the learned Advocate for the petitioner does not fall within the purview of “note for speaking to minutes”. Accordingly, present note for speaking to minutes is dismissed (HASMUKH D. SUTHAR,J)
