We often come across provisions in Various Acts that "the Govt. will notify in the Official Gazette" I wish to ask: (a)What exactly is this Official Gazette? (b)At what intervals is it issued? (c) What are basically its contents? (d)Can a specimen copy be visited online or is it available in Hard Copy in the market?
Whatever the Government decides in Parliament, A common may not know. For this purpose, Govt publishes it's notifications, rules etc. in Official Gazette.
In addition, its a statutory requirement to publ;ish rules etc. in Official Gazette.
