Scope and content
'Whereas it has come to my notice that certain inhabitants of the Lyallpur district are habitually exhibiting a lack of respect for gazetted European or civil and military officers of his Majesty's services, thereby failing to maintain the dignity of the Government, I hereby order that the inhabitants of the Lyallpur district shall accord to all such officers whenever met the salutation usually accorded to Indian gentlemen of high social position in accordance with the customs of India. That is to say, persons riding on animals, or on or in wheeled conveyances will alight, persons carrying open and raised umbrellas shall lower them, and all persons shall salute or Salaam with the hand.'
