Summary The defendant's petition seeking correction of a landlord's name in Rent Control challans (from "Shib Sankar Gupta" to "Priyanath Neogy" for the period March 2021-October 2022) was disposed of and rejected. The court held that corrections to documents can only be made by the issuing authority, not by the court, and that the inherent powers under Section 151 CPC do not apply here. The case is adjourned to 05/05/2026 for hearing of the main application under the W.B.P.T. Act, with the defendant free to pursue correction through appropriate channels independently.
