Re: [HumJanenge] Re: New 500 words Rule

Dear Er.Sarabajit
I fully Contest and disagree with you on your Presumed and Thought Idea of Counting the words . This is not a telegram and Nor GOK is P&T dept . nor a Part of GOI nor it is explicit;y stated as you constrye in the Rule . Tule making power is left to state Govt . added to this on Basic Logics If you count the Adress of the Sender & Recepient , your Fees is not tagged to it, If you Read the entire ammendement in full , A request in writting for Information are the words used and shall relate IN (please note this word ) subject matter . There fore Until & unless your Contention becomes settled Law by Challenges in various Judicial Forums upon hierarcy , our Arguments have been Accepted , We also donot want rake up an argument on par with your Presumptions,
However as Rightly said by you in point b and further it is Beneficial to Both supply & demand side and in Effect curtailed Many applications without any Road Map or what can be called Fishing Applications .
I can supplu you all file Notings both at KIC and GOVT side in this Matter and assure you that i had a very detailed Discussion with the LAW minister Himself (my old freind) on several lines on this matter . The Law minister is himself a Advocate and had assumed office at the time of this amendement
