Mistake apparent on the record requires an obvious error, not reappraisal of evidence, so rectification was refused.

Rectification under the apparent-mistake standard was unavailable because the Tribunal had already considered the register entries, evidentiary material and arguments raised in hearing. A mistake apparent from the record must be obvious on the face of the record; it cannot be used to reopen the correctness of a conclusion based on appraisal of evidence. As the request was only for reappreciation of issues already examined, no rectifiable error was shown and the application was rejected.

Issues: Whether the order called for rectification or recall on the ground of a mistake apparent on the face of the record.

Analysis: The Tribunal found that the earlier final order had considered the relevant register entries, the evidentiary material and the points urged in hearing. It held that a rectifiable mistake must be an obvious error apparent from the record, and not a challenge to the correctness of the conclusion reached on appraisal of evidence. Since the grievance amounted only to a request for reappreciation of issues already examined, no apparent mistake was shown.

Conclusion: The application for rectification of mistake was rejected.
