Summary

The Supreme Court entertained an application to correct a typographical error in its earlier judgment dated 16 November 2020 in the case of UMC Technologies Private Ltd. v. Food Corporation of India & Anr. (Civil Appeal No. 3687 of 2020). The application sought deletion of the words “including an employee of the appellant” from paragraph 4 of that judgment. After hearing counsel, the Court held that the phrase was erroneous and could be removed without affecting the substantive outcome. Consequently, the Court ordered that the said words be deleted and that the rest of the judgment remain unchanged. The order was issued on 2 February 2021, and the application was allowed.
