This is a favourite sign off used by bureaucratic India (unfortunately the photo is not a good example because the ‘By Order here is followed by the name of the authority). Usually the ‘By Order’ is the QED of an order leaving the authority faceless. These signatures are used against the public to ‘cease and desist’ something.
Indians love symbols of authority but they never comply with rules.
‘By Order’ is a perfect example of this mentality – Only higher-ups make orders that become headstones that go unacknowledged by the public. Knowing this the higher-ups would rather not castrate themselves in public by putting their name to an order that everyone chooses to ignore.
