"ii). In the meanwhile, ... Rule 10, Order IV ..."
Call me a Grammar Nazi if you must, but the language of the SCBA's notice, makes me sad. Speaking of the legal language, I have never seen a Rule being placed before the Order, unless it is written as rule x of order y. Some may think I am being anal, but lack of commitment of excellence is very sad. Worse part is, everyone accepts it as "chalta hai yaar".
