Practical examples

1The Guwahati Municipal Board wants to take action against a citizen, Rahul, who built a temporary shop on a public pavement. The pavement rules were created as subordinate rules under the Act, but are not in the text of the Act itself. Under Section 464, the Board can take action against Rahul under Section 615 because the text now explicitly covers violations of rules made under the Act.

2A local municipal inspector issues a notice to a business owner, Priya, for violating waste segregation guidelines. These guidelines are part of the municipal sanitation rules, not the main Act. Because Section 464 adds "or the rules made thereunder" to Section 615, the inspector's notice under Section 615 is legally valid even though the violation is of a rule rather than a section of the Act.
