Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 87 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli, concluding that the term 'clerical error' does not encompass the corrections sought by the respondents, which were not made within a reasonable time frame of 25 years. The Court emphasized that the expression 'at any time' cannot be stretched indefinitely and must be interpreted in a reasonable context. The holding affirmed the validity of the Land Acquisition Award and the proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, rejecting the respondents' claims for correction.
