Overview

• A printing error in the Aug. 7 order swapped the bail decisions for father-son accused Halke and Ashok in the July 2024 Vidisha assault case.
• Based on the incorrect upload, defence counsel filed a bail bond and jail authorities received an order to release Halke before the error was flagged.
• On Aug. 8, Justice Rajesh Kumar Gupta of the Gwalior bench formally recalled both orders and identified the typo as the cause of the mix-up.
• The court’s fresh, corrected ruling rescinded the inadvertent release instruction and reinstated the proper bail outcomes without commenting on case merits.
• The incident underlines how reliance on electronic publication and clerical processes can trigger immediate procedural actions in criminal cases.
