1. We heard Shri Jain, Consultant in support of the 3 applications for rectification of mistakes and Shri Chakraborty in opposition. Shri Jain, the learned Consultant submitted that there are a number of errors in the impugned order and argued in detail about all of them.However, keeping in mind that when elaborate arguments are required on points, those cannot be errors apparent on the face of the record, we disregard the argumentative part of Shri Jain's submissions and we take up here only those alleged mistakes which at a glance can be verified from the record before us.2. The first error pointed out by Shri Jain is that in paragraphs 1,2,3(c) and (d) the Tribunal proceeded on the basis that Notification No. 264/67 was an independent Notification whereas it was in fact an amending Notification. Shri Jain invited our attention to paragraph 3 of the impugned order and submitted that Notification No. 264/67 reproduced therein was actually Notification No. 136/67 as amended by Notific...
