Correct the clerical or arithmetical mistake or errors

“The Court has jurisdiction to correct the clerical or arithmetical mistake or errors caused due to accidental slip or omission in a judgment, decree or order. Depending on facts, it confers a wide direction on the Court to correct, 

(i) clerical or arithmetical mistake, 

(ii) errors caused due to accidental slip or omission in the judgment, decree or order. Such power can be exercised at any time. Where the Court is bound to grant relief even without it being sought by a party and if unintentionally or inadvertently the Court does not grant such relief, it would be justified at any time to correct such accidental omission or error by exercising power under Section 152.”
