Issues: Setting aside an order denying amendments in details of a bounced cheque due to typographical errors.The judgment pertains to a petition filed under Section 482 to challenge an order denying the right to make amendments in the details of a bounced cheque due to typographical errors. The petitioner argued that the mistake was bona fide, as the correct details were present on the impugned cheque, return memo from the bank, and notice accompanying the complaint. On the other hand, the respondent contended that the mistake was not bona fide, as the wrong cheque number was mentioned in the complaint and affidavit, leading to the denial of amendments by the lower court. The court noted the discrepancy in the complaint and affidavit but also acknowledged the correct cheque number on the impugned documents provided. The court considered previous case laws cited by both parties, emphasizing the distinction between cases where amendments were disallowed and the present situation where the petitioner sought to rectify a genuine mistake. Relying on legal precedents, the court concluded that the application for amendments should be allowed. Consequently, the petition was allowed, and the order of the lower court was set aside, granting the petitioner permission to rectify the details of the bounced cheque in the complaint and file a fresh supporting affidavit, subject to cross-examination by the respondent. The judgment disposed of the petition accordingly.
