..... require elaborate discussion of evidence or argument to establish it, can be said to be an error apparent on the face of the record and can be corrected under s. 254(2). An error cannot be said to be apparent on the face of the record if one has to travel beyond the record to see whether the judgment is correct or not.

..... amend any order passed under sub-s.
