DRAFT CONSTITUTION 991
I might also mention to the House that I find that if this amendment is carried, I shall also have to bring in a small consequential amendment in article 202 where there has been a sort of omission.
*Mr. President: Dr. Ambedkar, there is an amendment moved by Mr. Kamath that in clause (1) of article 302, for the word “duties” the word “functions” be substituted.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : The word “functions” is a large word and it includes both powers and duties. We have said powers and duties which include all the functions that we can have. It is unnecessary to have any kind of amendment like that.

“That is clause (1) of article 302 for the word ‘duties’ the word ‘functions’ be substituted.”
The amendment was negatived.
