Dear client,
If the judgment uploaded on the court portal contains a wrong statement regarding the evidence, you can approach the same court which passed the judgment and file an application to correct the mistake. This mistake must be clearly shown as a factual or clerical error. You must point out what the judgment says, what was actually recorded in evidence, and how it is incorrect. This application should be made as soon as possible after noticing the error.
The court has the power to correct such mistakes on its own or when a party brings it to notice. In civil cases, this is usually done under section 152 or 153 of the Civil Procedure Code. In criminal matters, there is no specific section, but you can still make an application for correction or clarification before the same court. You should attach a copy of the judgment, highlight the incorrect part, and include the correct portion of the record, such as deposition or documentary evidence.
If the error is serious and affects the outcome of the case, and the court does not agree to correct it, you may need to file an appeal or review depending on the case type. For now, first try filing a correction application before the same court.
I hope this answer helps, in case of further queries, please dont hesitate to contact us.
