DRAFT CONSTITUTION 671
HINDI NUMERALS ON CAR NUMBER PLATES
- Pandit Balkrishna Sharma : ...My submision to him has always been that Delhi as a Province is surrounded on all sides by Provinces which have declared Hindi as their Government language and Devanagari as the Government script.
Mr. President : Order, order. I have got the information which you wanted to give me. As I said, Honourable Members will not insist upon my giving a ruling on the question of privilege. It may not be in their interest. As I have said, the matter will be taken up with the Government.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (Bombay : General) : There is no privilege to break the law.
ARTICLE 92
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
- “That in sub-clause (b) of clause (3) of article 92, for the words ‘emoluments’ the words ‘salaries’ be substituted.”
That is the usual wording we are using.
† The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I beg to move :
“That in sub-clauses (a) and (b) of clause (2) of article 92. for the words ‘revenues of India’ the words ‘Consolidated Fund of India’ be substituted.”
“That in clause (3) of article 92, for the words ‘revenues of India’ the words ‘Consolidated Fund of India’ be substituted.”
“That after sub-clause (d) of clause (3) of article 92, the following subclause be inserted :—
(dd) the salary, allowances and pension payable to or in respect of the Comptroller ‘and Auditor-General of India’.”
With regard to 9, all I, need say is that the House has already passed article 124, clause (5) which contains the present amendment. It is therefore here, because, it was felt that all items which are declared to be charges on the Consolidated Fund of India had better be brought in together, rather than be scattered in different parts of the Constitution.
[All four amendments of Dr. Ambedkar as shown above were accepted others were rejected. Article 92 as amended was added to the constitution.]
ARTICLE 93
‡The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: Sir, I move :
“That in clause (1) of article 93, for the words ‘revenues of India’ the words ‘Consolidated Fund of India’ be substituted.”
[Amendment was carried. Article 93, as amended, was added to the constitution.]
