what is the nature of the case?

it depends upon the facts and circumstances of the case. it may or may not be fatal to the case.

however it is a typographical error or a slip of mind and can be corrected during investigation by the police...police will not file challan without investigation, during the course of investigation u can correct the things.

in some grave situation the person may give a wrong date in haste may be due to mental pressure or stress.

so all depends upon the facts and circumstances of the case.

Mr Kiran Kumar is right. but in general, this mistake gives strong defence to the accused.

Dear Anjana,

Kindly refer to Ratanlal & Dhirajlal book" The Code of Criminal Procedure" u/s. 154 dealing with FIR, some useful insight can be got from the comments attached to the provisions of the act.

at present not as the accused has taken the mistake as defence, in my opinion police will not give any oprtunity to correct the date.
