Arithmetical mistakes

Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, which is a special statute had provided a parallel provision to obtain remedy as claimed which excludes application of general principle of law i.e. S.152, C.P.C.

Provision of S.152, C.P.C. deals with clerical or arithmetical mistakes in judgments, decrees or orders arise therein from accidental slip or omission whereas proviso to S.27 of Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, deals with only clerical or typographical mistakes in judgment

Arithmetical mistake is considered to be mistake of calculation; clerical mistake is mistake in writing or typing whereas error arising out of or occurring from accidental slip or omission is error due to careless mistake of Court

Legislature's intent is very visible and clear while incorporating provision of Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance, 2001, and only includes clerical and typographical mistakes.
