Bijay Kumar Saraogi vs State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court held that an application under Section 152 CPC is limited to correcting clerical errors or arithmetical mistakes and cannot be used to claim substantive relief not granted in the original decree. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the appellant's application for benefits under Sections 23(2) and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act, as amended, was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed as lacking merit.
