"17. ... Is the conclusion wrong and if so, is such error apparent on
the face of the record? If it is clear that the error if any is not apparent
on the face of the record, it is not necessary for us to decide whether
the conclusion of the Bombay High Court on the question of notice is
correct or not. An error which has to be established by a long drawn
process of reasoning on points where there may conceivably be two
opinions can hardly be said to be an error apparent on the face of the
record. As the above discussion of the rival contentions show the al-
leged error in the present case is far from self-evident and if it can be
established, it has to be established, by lengthy and complicated ar-
guments. We do not think such an error can be cured by a writ of certi-
orari according to the rule governing the powers of the superior court to
issue such a writ. In our opinion the High Court was wrong in thinking
that the alleged error in the judgment of the Bombay Revenue Tribunal
viz. that an order for possession should not be made unless a previous
notice had been given was an error apparent on the face of the record
so as to be capable of being corrected by a writ of certiorari.
