JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 16-08-2018 It is just unfortunate that a simple correction required to be made in the title portion of the judgment dated 10.07.2013 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Siwan has not been made over the years together and the petitioner has been compelled to move this Court seeking a direction to the learned Judicial Magsitrate-1st Class to make necessary correction with regard to the Complaint Case No.643 of 1989/T.R.No.240 of 2013 in place of 859 of 92/Tr.No.240 of 2013 in the judgment dated 10.07.2013. The learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Siwan in whose court the judgment was

Patna High Court Cr. WJC No.1065 of 2016 (2) dt.16-08-2018 delivered and an application is said to have been filed for correction in respect of the case number is pending is directed to pass an appropriate order on the petition filed by the petitioner within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

This Court is not happy with the situation whereunder the petitioner has been compelled to move this Court for such minor correction which is nothing but a correction of a typographical error in the judgment. Therefore, this Court is constrained to direct the District Judge, Siwan to look into the matter and find out as to why and under what circumstances the simple correction could not be done over the years and who is responsible for the same. It is expected that he will take appropriate action in the matter.

The application stands disposed off accordingly. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) Arvind/- U T
