Law: There is difference between "a notification" and "a gazetted notification"

When a government notification is published in any central government or state government's gazetted notifications, it attracts a presumption that public knows it and everyone is supposed to know. It has some binding value.

But such is not the case of simple notification issued by Government. Binding effect of a notification not notified in gazette, has a different and lesser value. There is no presumption attached to it that public will be knowing about it.
