Clerical Error in recording statement of witness?
Section 262 of CrPC provides for correction of Clerical Errors in the Orders. If there is a clerical error during recording of the statement of witness under which section will it be corrected?
What is the procedure to be adopted?

It can be rectified under section 278 (2) crpc.

Thank U Raghavanji
To be more precise let me narate you the facts as they occurred
In a 138 NIA xcase teh accused was being cross examined
The subject of teh cross examination was a lease deed and teh lock in period mentioned in teh lease deed. It was a lenghty Cross examinatiomn spread over 23 pages.. The words "lease deed" and "lock in period " was used at several places
However the clerk/reader of the court has at many places written "lease date" instead of "lease deed" and "working period" instead of "lockin Period".
SEction 278 does not seem to help here as teh witness (the accused ) is not bothered as he has nothingto loose
It is teh complainant who wants to get teh things corrected(It is a clerical error)Pl check if Section 362 of CrPC is of help

I have the same query but with regard to CPC
It is the plaintiff who wants to get things corrected (It is a clerical error)
