ORDER
Date : 21.08.2026 Heard Mr. A. Deka, learned counsel appearing for the applicant. Also heard Mr. S. Bhuyan, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Higher Education Department.
2. By way of this interlocutory application, the applicant seeks correction of the cause title of WP(C)/3140/2026, as well as correction of certain typographical errors relating to the name of the college and the subject/post occupied by the petitioner.
3. It is the specific case of the petitioner that, due to inadvertence, while describing respondent No. 1 in the cause title, “Department of School Education” has been mentioned, whereas the same ought to have been described as “Department of Higher Education”. Similarly, the serial numbers of the respondents have been incorrectly typed as 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, which ought to be corrected as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.
4. It is further submitted that the District Scrutiny Committee has also been incorrectly described in the cause title as “The District Scrutiny
Committee represented by its Chairman-cum-District Commissioner, Morigaon”, whereas the correct description ought to be “The District Scrutiny Committee represented by its Chairman-cum-District Commissioner, Dhemaji”.
5. Further, in paragraph Nos. 5, 13 and 14 of the writ petition, the name of the college has been incorrectly mentioned as “Madhya Kampeeth College, Borka”, whereas the same ought to be “Machkhowa Degree College, Dhemaji”. Likewise, the subject/post has been incorrectly mentioned as “Economics”, whereas the same ought to be “English”.
6. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and upon perusal of the pleadings, it appears that the errors pointed out in the cause title and in the name of the college and subject/post are inadvertent typographical errors. It is also noticed that the name of the college requires correction in paragraph Nos. 5, 11, 13 and 14 of the writ petition.
7. Accordingly, the aforesaid typographical errors in the connected writ petition stand corrected.
8. Let an amended writ petition, incorporating the corrections in terms of this order, be furnished to the Registry, along with a copy thereof to the learned counsel appearing for the respondents.
9. Resultantly, the interlocutory application stands disposed of.
