- Mr. President: There is notice of an amendment by Professor Shah suggesting the addition of a new article after article 135.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Before we go to the next amendment I would like to suggest that in article 135, the word “elected” be dropped.
Mr. President: That is understood.
ARTICLE 136
† The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
“That in article 136 for the words ‘in the presence of the members of the Legislature of the State’ the words ‘in the presence of the Chief Justice or, in his absence, any other judge of the High Court exercising jurisdiction in relation to the State’ be substituted.”
