Sikkim Government Modifies Entry in Previous Notification

The Government of Sikkim's Home Department issued a Corrigendum, bearing No. 80/Home/2025, on August 27, 2025. This instrument, published in the Sikkim Government Gazette as an Extraordinary publication on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, served to partially modify an earlier official communication. The Corrigendum specifically addressed Notification No. 73/Home/2025, which was dated August 6, 2025. The primary purpose of this latest issuance was to effect a change within the existing entries of the aforementioned notification.

The Corrigendum mandated the substitution of the entry at Serial Number 12. The previous details at this position were replaced with new information pertaining to an individual. The substituted entry now reads: "Mrs. Moti Maya Subba W/o Shri Rinchen Wangchuk Lepcha Lower Aho, Pakyong District." This modification directly impacts the record as maintained in the original notification, ensuring accuracy in the official documentation. The Corrigendum came into force upon its publication in the Official Gazette.

The legislative intent behind issuing such a Corrigendum is to rectify or update information contained in prior official documents, thereby maintaining the integrity and accuracy of government records. This particular Corrigendum addressed an issue within the earlier legal position established by Notification No. 73/Home/2025, where the entry at Serial Number 12 required revision. The legislation provided: “In partial modification of Notification No. 73/Home/2025 dated 06.08.2025, in place of existing entry at Sl. No. 12, following shall be substituted :” This action ensures that any potential statutory gaps or inaccuracies in the previous notification are promptly addressed. By substituting the specific entry, the Corrigendum effectively amends the details without altering the broader framework of the original notification. The issuance was made by order and in the name of the Governor, signed by R. Telang, IAS, Chief Secretary to the Government of Sikkim.
