Correction of accidental slip upheld where the appellate record showed an internal inconsistency and no contrary material was produced.

The Appellate Board's use of its correction power was upheld where the earlier order was said to contain an accidental slip and an internal inconsistency about receipt of the amount. The Court noted that the correction followed hearing both sides, and that there was no further material to displace the Board's conclusion. On that basis, the correction made to the earlier order was left undisturbed and the challenge failed.

Issues: Whether the Appellate Board could correct its earlier order under the provision permitting correction of clerical or arithmetical mistakes and accidental slips or omissions, and whether the order setting aside the penalty was liable to be interfered with.

Analysis: The order under challenge was passed on review after hearing both sides. The correction power was invoked on the footing that the earlier order contained an accidental slip and an internal inconsistency regarding receipt of the amount. The Court also noted the absence of the respondent and the lack of any further material to displace the Board's conclusion.

Conclusion: The correction made by the Appellate Board was left undisturbed and the challenge to it failed.
