This is an interlocutory application, preferred by the applicants for modification/rectification of the clan of Shri Shinito Yeptho from ‘Cheshepu’ clan to ‘Nguvihe’, that has inadvertently crepted in sub- paragraph No. 6 of the writ petition; and also for modification/correction of the Order, dated 27.08.2026, passed in connected WP(C) No. 136/2026, whereby, it has been mentioned in paragraph Nos. 8 & 9 of the said order, as ‘Resolution dated 26.07.2026’, which ought to have been ‘Letter dated 10.07.2026’. 4.
