Section 152 of CPC : Section 152: Amendment of judgments, decrees or orders.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh filed a civil suit against his neighbor, Suresh, for encroaching on his property. The court ruled in favor of Rajesh and issued a decree stating that Suresh must vacate the encroached land. However, the decree mistakenly mentioned the area of the land as "200 square feet" instead of "300 square feet" due to a clerical error. Rajesh noticed this mistake and filed an application to the court to correct the error. The court, upon reviewing the application, corrected the decree to reflect the accurate area of "300 square feet."

Example 2:

Meena won a lawsuit against a company for breach of contract, and the court ordered the company to pay her Rs. 5,00,000 as compensation. However, the judgment document erroneously mentioned the compensation amount as Rs. 50,000 due to an arithmetical mistake. Meena brought this error to the court's attention by filing an application. The court acknowledged the mistake and amended the judgment to state the correct compensation amount of Rs. 5,00,000.
