The applicant as the petitioner, has preferred the connected application, A.B. no. 3045/2022 under Section 438, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 [CrPC], seeking the benefit of pre-arrest bail, apprehending his arrest, in connection with Mankachar Police Station Case no. 209/2022 registered under Sections 376/366, Indian Penal Code [IPC]. Page No. 2/2 The instant interlocutory application has been preferred by the applicant-petitioner stating that an unintentional typographical error has been crept in in the cause-title of the application, A.B. no. 3045/2022. It is averred that instead of “Mankachar Police Station Case no. 209/2022” the same has been typed as “Mankachar Police Station Case no. 509/2022” and a prayer is made that the said typographical mistake may be permitted to be corrected. Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant- petitioner and the averment made in this interlocutory application, this Court is of the considered view that the typographical mistake appears to have been crept in inadvertently. Accordingly, the instant interlocutory application is allowed. It is observed that in the cause- title of the application, A.B. no. 3045/2022, for all intents and purposes, the concerned crime case should be read as “Mankachar Police Station Case no. 209/2022” instead of “Mankachar Police Station Case no. 509/2022”. The office is to make necessary correction in the cause-title of the application, A.B. no. 3045/2022 accordingly. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
