Mr. vishal is right. + Notification means official declaration. eg. Notification about enactment or comencement of of a law. Further added that an Act,Rule and regulation always have binding effect and enforciable by Court.on the other hand,guideline, G.O.,circular, office memorandum are normally guiding in nature and can not be enforced by Court.
