The court allowed the application under Order 20 r.11 KKM 2012 because the sealed order dated 6.12.2021 omitted, by way of a clerical omission, the specific reliefs that the court had granted; the amendment does not vary the substantive terms or prejudice the Defendant and is therefore a permissible correction under the slip rule to reflect the court’s true intention.

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the High Court has jurisdiction under Order 20 r.11 KKM 2012 to amend a sealed order after it is drawn up

  3. 3 Whether the proposed amendment would vary the terms of the order or prejudice the Defendant

Ratio Decidendi
