Issues involved:
The judgment deals with the deduction claimed by an assessee under section 37 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for commission paid to a related partnership firm, the rectification application filed by the assessee under section 254(2) of the Act, and the jurisdiction of the Appellate Tribunal to rectify its order.

Deduction Claimed Under Section 37:
The assessee, engaged in the business of electrical goods, claimed a deduction of Rs. 54,000 as commission paid to a related partnership firm, Messrs. Neeta Electric Corporation, for purchases made through them. The Income-tax Officer disallowed the deduction, finding the commission not paid for business purposes. The Appellate Tribunal upheld this decision, considering the lack of evidence on services rendered by the firm. The Tribunal observed the close links between the partners of both firms and deemed the purchasing agency agreement as a make-believe arrangement.

Rectification Application Under Section 254(2):
The assessee filed a rectification application under section 254(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, seeking to rectify the Tribunal's order. The Tribunal, in its purported exercise of rectification, reexamined the circumstances and allowed the deduction of commission payment to Messrs. Neeta Electric Corporation. However, the High Court held that the Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction in redeciding the dispute, as there was no apparent mistake in the original order. The Court emphasized that rectification is limited to correcting obvious and patent mistakes, not errors of judgment.

Jurisdiction of the Appellate Tribunal:
The High Court emphasized that the Appellate Tribunal does not have the power to review its own orders but can only rectify mistakes apparent from the record. The Court cited the Supreme Court's decision in T. S. Balaram v. Volkart Brothers, stating that rectification is not meant for debatable points of law. The Court rejected the Tribunal's reexamination of the case based on new arguments, as the original order was based on the merits of the case. The High Court concluded that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to pass the second order allowing the deduction, and ruled in favor of the Revenue.

Conclusion:
The High Court answered the referred questions, stating that the Tribunal acted beyond its jurisdiction in allowing the deduction of Rs. 54,000 as it had no authority to pass the second order. The Court directed the respondent to pay the costs of the reference, emphasizing the limitations of the Tribunal's power of rectification under section 254(2) of the Income-tax Act.
