PREFACE Regulations for the Navy Part I are issued under the authority of the Government of India and supersede the corresponding provisions of the Regulations for the Navy Part I, 1965 (non-Statutory). These Regulations contain a comprehensive compilation of 44 Chapters on regulations of an administrative character. Flag Officers, Commanding Officers and all other Officers are responsible for ensuring that the Regulations contained in this volume are strictly adhered to by them and by all those serving under their Command. These Regulations, being non-Statutory, are supplemental to the relevant statutory provisions, wherever they exist, and do not supplant them. All officers are expected to interpret these Regulations with due regard to the customs and traditions of the Service. In these Regulations no attempt has been made to provide for obvious exceptions or for matters of detail, on which administrative and departmental orders/ instructions of authorities subordinate to the Government of India are either currently in force or may be issued in future. Such orders and instructions shall, however, be deemed supplementary to and in amplification of these Regulations. As such, if any of these orders/instructions are at variance to these Regulations, the latter shall prevail.
