A court of law is entitled to look at its record of proceedings on any matter and take notice of their contents even though they may not be formally brought before the court by the parties. Record of proceedings of a court is presumed to be correct until the contrary is proved. Any party challenging the court's record must swear to an affidavit setting out the facts or part of the proceedings omitted or wrongly stated in the records. Such affidavit is usually served on the Judge and or the Registrar of the court who would then if he desires to contest the affidavit swear to and file a counter affidavit. Whenever there is a clear evidence of an incorrect record of proceedings the court will always demand that the correct proceeding be transmitted in accordance with laid down procedure of this court. But the person asserting incorrect or a faulty record of proceedings carries the burden of not only proving the incorrectness of the proceedings, he also must supply clearly what the proceedings actually ought to be. To posit simply that the proceedings are defective without more is not enough, it must be clearly indicated in the application what the true proceedings are. What is missing or what is a surplusage [sic] must be indicated.
