Rectification under ROM jurisdiction is confined to patent errors apparent on the record, not merit-based reconsideration.

Rectification under ROM jurisdiction is limited to patent mistakes apparent on a mere look at the record and cannot be used for a rehearing on factual or legal merits. Where the grounds require detailed examination or reconsideration of the dispute, they fall outside rectification and amount to an appeal in disguise. On that basis, the alleged mistakes were not errors apparent on the face of the record, and the ROM applications were dismissed.

Issues: Whether the alleged errors in the final order constituted errors apparent on the face of the record warranting rectification under the ROM jurisdiction.

Analysis: Rectification is confined to patent mistakes that are visible on a mere look at the record and do not require elaborate argument, long drawn reasoning, or rehearing of the merits. Contentions that seek reconsideration of the dispute on factual or legal merits fall outside the scope of rectification and amount to an appeal in disguise. The grounds raised in the application required detailed examination of the merits and were not self-evident mistakes on the record.

Conclusion: The alleged mistakes were not errors apparent on the face of the record and did not justify rectification. The ROM applications were dismissed.
