may be after acceptance, cause the application as accepted together with the conditions or limitations, if
any, subject to which it has been accepted, to be advertised in the prescribed manner:
Provided that the Registrar may cause the application to be advertised before acceptance if it relates
to a trade mark to which sub-section (1) of section 9 and sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 11 apply, or in
any other case where it appears to him that it is expedient by reason of any exceptional circumstances so
to do.

(ii) the application has been permitted to be amended under section 22, the Registrar may in his discretion cause the application to be advertised again or in any case falling under clause (b) may, instead of causing the application to be advertised again, notify in the prescribed manner the correction or amendment made in the application.
