However, the notification said "Republic Day" instead of "Independence Day", apart from in the heading.

Manjeet Singh Chugh, in his petition said that such human errors showed that the notifications issued by the Delhi Police "are not read and checked by the senior officers", thereby causing such errors.

The plea was mentioned before a division bench presided by Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice C Harishankar. The matter has been listed for Wednesday.
