Hi IndAir967,
As much as I stand by whatever I have said above (thanks to the extra strong coffee
), I guess in the end, it all boils down to the one biggest (yet saddest) fact that you have mentioned ... which is ...
Because the fact of the matter is NOBODY KNOWS OR FOLLOWS THE RULES though u can find them on the book..
not only DGCA or WPC .. so many government department staff do not even know some of the basic rules related to their day-to-day work !!
