(2) Every application referred in sub-rule (1) shall contain the following particulars, namely:—

(a) the name of the applicant;

sufficient to enable the consumer or any other person to identify the manufacturer or the packer,
register such shorter address.

(3) Where a shorter address is registered by the Director or the Controller, it shall be lawful for
the manufacturer or packer to state such shorter address on the label of each commodity pre-packed
by him or it.

### Rule 29. Registration of manufacturers and packers, etc.
