Court not to alter judgment
AI Assist
Summary
Once a court has signed its judgment or final order disposing of a case, it cannot alter or review that decision. Only clerical or arithmetical errors may be corrected. Exceptions apply if this Code or another law expressly provides a different remedy.
Example
Ravi is convicted and the court signs the final judgment. Later the court notices the fine was typed as Rs. 10 instead of Rs. 100. Under this rule the court can correct that clerical/arithmetic mistake, but it cannot reopen or change the conviction or sentence except where another law allows it.
Bare Act
