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 involves an application for 'Speaking to Minutes' to correct a clerical error in an order dated 23.04.2026. The court examined the requirement for the applicant to furnish surety under Section 437-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure in compliance with the Trial Court's order. The court found that the wording in the previous order needed modification to accurately reflect the direction given to the applicant. The primary issue was whether the phrasing in Para 3 of the order dated 23.04.2026 correctly described the status of the surety. The court reasoned that the statement indicating the applicant 'has furnished surety' was inaccurate and should be replaced with 'The applicant was directed to furnish surety' to correctly state the legal mandate. Speaking to Minutes stands disposed of.
