SAMARENDRA NATH SINHA & ANR. vs KRISHNA KUMAR NAG

The Supreme Court held that under Sections 151 and 152 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a court has the inherent power to correct clerical mistakes or errors arising from accidental slips in its judgments. In this case, the trial court mistakenly passed a preliminary decree for sale instead of foreclosure, which was corrected to reflect the intended final decree for foreclosure. The High Court's decision to allow the respondent to participate in remand proceedings was upheld, affirming the finality of the order under Article 133.
