Section 11 MOFA | Competent Authority Cannot Substantively Amend Order via Corrigendum : Bombay HC

Bombay HC rules that altering property area from 566.94 sq. mtrs to 828.24 sq. mtrs via corrigendum constitutes a substantive review, not a clerical correction, violating the functus officio doctrine under Section 11 of the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act. The ruling bars authorities from indirectly reviewing their own orders without due process, impacting property rights and obligations of housing societies.
