Rectification under section 254(2) is confined to a patent, obvious error apparent from the record and cannot be used to reargue debatable issues, reassess evidence, or reopen the merits of an earlier time-bar dismissal. The High Court held that complaints about the Tribunal's failure to summon further material, its treatment of the driver's affidavit on delay condonation, and alleged non-consideration of precedent involved adjudicatory choice rather than self-evident error, so no rectifiable mistake was shown. In the section 260A appeal, interference was unavailable absent perversity or a substantial question of law. The appeals were dismissed.
