Since the prayer of petitioner Radhe Shyam Agarwal is only for rectification of mistake catalogued in the application, in the light of the prayer, we propose to dispose of the application since we feel that petitioner Radhe Shyam Agarwal would not suffer any prejudice in the order we propose to pass, with reference to the materials on record. 2. Petitioner Radhe Shyam Agarwal has stated in the petition that the finding of the Tribunal that the statement of Manoharlal Jain confirms the purchase of foreign gold by him from Radhe Shyam Agarwal is factually incorrect.
