DRAFT CONSTITUTION 1097
The anomaly exists because in the Government of India Act certain provisions with regard to the salary of judges did make a distinction between province and province. What I would like to tell my Friend is this; that the Drafting Committee hopes that this particular case will be provided for in another manner. If that happened there would be no necessity of adopting this particular amendment and the individual affected thereby would also be benefited. But if the Drafting Committee finds that does not happen, then the Drafting Committee will reserve to itself the right of bringing in a specific amendment to remove the grievance of the specific individual we have in mind.
Before I close, I would like to ask your permission to introduce one or two phrases in the clause which have been inadvertently omitted. I refer to Part IV, paragraph 11 of sub-paragraph (2). I would like to introduce after the word “shall” in the seventh line the following words :
“In addition to the salaries specified in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph.”
I have also another amendment in sub-paragraph 3 of paragraph 11.1 I would omit the first “such” and after the word “judge” I would add :
“of the High Court.”
Shri H. V. Kamath : That is my amendment.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I accept it, and I now hope the House will accept the Schedule as amended.
Shri R. K. Sidhva : What about my amendment regarding the salaries and allowances of the President and the Governor ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : That will be decided by Parliament.
Mr. President : I shall now put the amendments to the Schedule according to the Parts. We are now on Part I of the Schedule.
Mr. President : The third part to amendment 270 was the one accepted by Dr. Ambedkar. As it is, the third part reads :
“In sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 11 in proposed Part IV of the schedule, after the words ‘specified in sub-paragraph 4(1) of this paragraph, shall’ add the words in addition to the salary specified in sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph.”
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I would like to have my own words.
† [All the amendments of Dr. Ambedkar were adopted. The second Schedule as amended, was added to the Constitution.]
