Hi

Please check the following macro to your file

\def\@startsection#1#2#3#4#5#6{%
  \if@noskipsec \leavevmode \fi
  \par
  \@tempskipa #4\relax
  \@afterindentfalse
  \ifdim \@tempskipa <\z@
    \@tempskipa -\@tempskipa \@afterindenttrue
  \fi
  \if@nobreak
    \everypar{}%
  \else
    \addpenalty\@secpenalty\addvspace\@tempskipa
  \fi
  \@ifstar
    {\@ssect{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}%
    {\@dblarg{\@sect{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}}}


and

\def\section{\@startsection{section}{1}{0pt}%
    {-20pt plus -3pt minus -2pt}%
    {12pt}%
    {\fontsize{12}{13}\selectfont}}

You can see the \@afterindenttrue to the section definition. If it is not
working, plesae let me know.

With Warm Regards
S.Ragu
