<h1>Corrigendum to Adjudication Order Deemed Illegal; Commissioner Lacks Authority to Amend Post-Issuance: Law Ministry Opinion.</h1> A Commissioner issued a corrigendum to an adjudication order nearly 10 months after its original issuance, making substantive changes. The Board sought the Law Ministry's opinion on the legality of such a corrigendum under Section 154 of the Customs Act, 1962, and Section 21 of the General Clauses Act. The Law Ministry opined that the Commissioner, as a quasi-judicial body, lacks the authority to review or correct orders post-issuance, as this violates principles of natural justice. The corrigendum was deemed legally unsustainable. Significant order changes should be proposed for review by the appropriate authority instead of issuing a corrigendum.
