Section 152 of CPC : Section 152: Amendment Of Judgments, Decrees Or Orders

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a court has issued a final decree in a property dispute, awarding a piece of land to Mr. Sharma. However, due to a typographical error, the land's identifying plot number is incorrectly listed as '123' instead of the correct '132'. Mr. Sharma notices this mistake when he receives the court order. Under Section 152 of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Mr. Sharma can apply to the court to correct this clerical error. The court, recognizing the mistake as a simple clerical error and not a substantive change to its decision, can amend the decree to reflect the correct plot number '132', ensuring that the judgment is accurately carried out.
