1 CGHC010282782026 2026:CGHC:32005 NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR CRMP No. 1928 of 2026 Santosh Kumar Kawasi S/o Mahru Ram Kawasi Aged About 27 Years R/o Bagmundi Panera P.S. Gidam, District- Bastar (Cg) (In Order Imugned First Name Of The Applicant Is Wrongly Mentioned As Sahngo Instead Of Santosh) ... Applicant versus State of Chhattisgarh Through Forest Circle Bade Dongar, District- Kondagaon (C.G.) ... Respondent For Applicant : Mr. Pravin Kumar Tulsyan, Advocate For Respondent/State : Mr. Saurabh Sahu, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 27.07.2026 1. Heard Mr. Pravin Kumar Tulsyan, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mr. Saurabh Sahu, learned Panel Lawyer, appearing for the respondent/State. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was granted regular bail by this Court vide order dated 10.07.2026 passed in M.Cr.C. No. 6137/2026. However, when the applicant furnished the bail bonds before the learned Trial Court, an objection RAHUL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by RAHUL DEWANGAN 2 was raised on the ground that the first name of the applicant was mentioned as “Sahngo” instead of “Santosh” in the order passed by this Court, and consequently, the bail bonds were not accepted. He submits that the aforesaid discrepancy has occurred due to an inadvertent typographical error while drafting the bail application, as reliance was placed upon the first page of the order dated 12.06.2026 passed by the learned Sessions Court, wherein the applicant’s name was erroneously mentioned as “Sahngo Kumar Kawasi” instead of “Santosh Kumar Kawasi”. It is further submitted that the mistake is purely clerical and bona fide in nature and has neither altered the identity of the applicant nor affected the merits of the case. He further submits that upon noticing the error, a fresh certified copy of the order dated 12.06.2026 passed in B.P. No. 60/2026 was obtained, wherein the correct name of the applicant is recorded as “Santosh Kumar Kawasi”. Accordingly, it is prayed that the typographical error in the order dated 10.07.2026 be suitably corrected to reflect the correct name of the applicant. 3. From a perusal of the order sought to be modified, it appears that due to an inadvertent typographical/clerical error, the name of the applicant has been mentioned as “Sahngo Kumar Kawasi” instead of “Santosh Kumar Kawasi”. The record placed before this Court, including the fresh certified copy of the order dated 12.06.2026 passed in B.P. No. 60/2026 by the learned Sessions Judge, Kondagaon, clearly reflects that the correct name of the applicant is “Santosh Kumar Kawasi”. Since the aforesaid error is purely clerical in nature and does not affect the merits of the order dated 3 10.07.2026 passed in M.Cr.C. No. 6137/2026, the same deserves to be corrected in the interest of justice. Accordingly, the name of the applicant appearing in the order dated 10.07.2026 as “Sahngo Kumar Kawasi” shall be read and construed as “Santosh Kumar Kawasi”. 4. With the aforesaid modification, the instant CRMP is hereby allowed. 5. A copy of this order be placed along with the records of MCRC No. 6137 of 2026. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Rahul Dewangan
