Correction of judgment cannot add omitted interest where decree matches the judgment and no clerical error exists.

Omission to award interest on unpaid purchase money in a judgment and decree could not be corrected under Sections 151 and 152 CPC where the decree matched the judgment and there was no clerical or accidental error. The court treated the omission as part of the judgment itself, meaning the proper remedy was review or appeal rather than a later amendment application. A long-delayed request to insert interest was therefore not maintainable, particularly where the interest claim was said to arise under Section 55(4) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.

Issues: Whether the omission to provide interest on unpaid purchase money in the judgment and decree could be corrected by an application under Sections 151 and 152 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, when no review or appeal had been pursued.

Since the decree conformed to the judgment, there was no variance between them that could attract correction under Sections 151 and 152 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The proper course to challenge the omission was by review or appeal, especially where the claim to interest was said to arise under Section 55(4) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. An application for amendment after several years could not be used to reopen what was effectively a deliberate omission in the judgment.

Conclusion: The application for amendment was not maintainable under Sections 151 and 152 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and the refusal to amend the decree and judgment was .
