Rectification jurisdiction is confined to patent errors; failure to consider a Board circular did not justify correction.

Rectification jurisdiction is limited to correcting only an obvious and patent mistake apparent from the record; it cannot be used to revisit reasoning or re-argue whether an earlier Tribunal decision properly considered a Board circular. The applicant argued that the final order had followed a prior Tribunal ruling without noticing the circular said to support its claim, but that contention required examination and differing interpretation rather than correction of a clear error. No mistake apparent from the record was shown, so the rectification application failed.

Issues: Whether the rectification application disclosed any mistake apparent from the record in the Tribunal's earlier final order so as to warrant correction under the rectification jurisdiction.

Analysis: The only ground was that the earlier order had followed a prior Tribunal decision without noticing a Board circular said to support the applicant's claim. The governing standard under rectification jurisdiction is confined to an obvious and patent error; a point that requires examination of whether an earlier decision considered a relevant circular does not become an apparent mistake in the later order merely because it may involve reasoning or differing interpretations.

Conclusion: The Tribunal held that no mistake apparent from the record was shown and the rectification application failed.
