Dear Sir,
Legal provision: Section 152 CPC + Inherent Powers
For correcting mistakes in a judgment/order/decree:
Section 152 CPC
Allows correction of clerical or arithmetical mistakes and accidental slips.
Section 151 CPC
Court’s inherent power to correct errors to secure justice.
High Courts routinely correct such errors on a party’s simple application.

File application under section 151 CPC read with section 152 CPC for correction in order/judgement.
