Versus
STATE OF GUJARAT – Respondent
R/SPECIAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION (QUASHING) NO. 12714 of 2025
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.
If the petitioner wants to challenge the said order then he has to file appropriate proceeding before the appropriate Court.
NEUTRAL CITATION

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)
