DRAFT CONSTITUTION 575
ARTICLE 86
*The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : (Bombay : General): Sir, I am sorry I cannot accept the amendment of my Friend Mr. Lari. I think it unnecessary to give an elaborate reply to the arguments advanced by the mover, in view of my complete agreement with what has been said on the other side by Mr. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar and Mr. T. T. Krishnamachari. I do not think it would be desirable to waste the time of the House in adding anything to what they have said.’ Their reply I find is quite complete.
I, however, accept the amendment of Mr. Santhanam for the substitution of the words ‘ Constitutent Assembly ’ for the words ‘ Legislature of the Dominion of India ’.
[Except the amendment of Mr. Santhanam, other amendments were rejected. Article 86, as amended was added to the Constitution]

Sir, it is just a matter of clarification by referring to the House referred to in sub-clause (c).
Mr. President : Amendment No. 1651. I think that is covered.
(Amendment No. 1652 was not moved.)
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
“ That in clause (2) of article 88, before the last word ‘ days ’ the word ‘consecutive’ be inserted.”
(Amendment No. 1654 was not moved.)
The Honourable Shri K. Santhanam : Sir, I move :
“ That in clause (4) of article. 88, the words ‘ total number of ’ be deleted.”
Sir, I do not want to press the deletion of the proviso. I want to amend the amendment to that extent....
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I shall be grateful if my Honourable Friend would leave this matter to the Drafting Committee to consider and then we can bring it up afterwards ?
The Honourable Shri K. Santhanam : I agree, Sir.
