CRIMINAL MISC.APPLICATION (DIRECTION) NO. 1 of 2026 | R/CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 936 of 2025

Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Jeet B Karia
For the Respondents: Public Prosecutor, Jigar G Gadhavi

The court exercised its power to correct a clerical error in a previous order through a 'Speaking to Minutes' application to accurately reflect the judicial direction regarding the furnishing of surety under Section 437-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Headnote:The matter pertains to an application for speaking to minutes regarding an order dated 23.04.2026, involving the application of Section 437-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The applicant sought a correction in the wording of the previous order concerning the furnishing of surety in compliance with the trial court's directions. The court determined that a clerical correction was necessary to accurately reflect the status of the surety. The primary issue was whether the phrase indicating the applicant had already furnished surety was accurate. The court reasoned that the text should be amended from stating the applicant "has furnished surety" to stating the applicant "was directed to furnish surety" to align with the actual judicial direction. Speaking to Minutes stands disposed of.
