SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
(CALCUTTA HIGH COURT)

Niyamat Ali Molla Vs Sonargon Housing Co-operative Society Limited

S.B.Sinha and H.S.Bedi JJ.

Civil Appeal No. 4876 of 2007    Date :-  12/10/ 2007

Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 – S. 151, 152 

Sec. 152 of the Code of Civil Procedure empowers the Court to correct its own error in a judgment, decree or order from any accidental slip or omission. The principle behind the said provision is actus curiae nemenim gravabit, i.e., nobody shall be prejudiced by an act of court. – Code of Civil Procedure recognises the inherent power of the court. It is not only confined to the amendment of the judgment or decree as envisaged u/s. 152 of the code but also inherent power in general. The courts also have duty to see that the records are true and present the correct state of affair. There cannot, however, be any doubt whatsoever that the court cannot exercise the said jurisdiction so as to review its judgment. It cannot also exercise its jurisdiction when no mistake or slip occurred in the decree or order. This provision, in our opinion, should, however, not be construed in a pedantic manner. A decree may, therefore, be corrected by the Court both in exercise of its power u/s. 152 as also u/s. 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Such a power of the court is well recognized. (para-18,19)
