In Brief
The petitioner sought correction of his name in a judgment and decree dated 6 February 2020 through an application under Sections 151 and 152 CPC. The Additional District Judge expressed initial doubts but the application was subsequently dismissed for non-appearance. The petitioner claimed to have been represented by counsel and that an accommodation request was denied. The Supreme Court did not adjudicate the merits but disposed of the petition by directing the ADJ to grant the petitioner a fresh hearing opportunity on his name-correction application, conditioned on payment of costs, and to decide the matter on merit according to law."
