DRAFT CONSTITUTION 925
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I suggest that amendment No. 122 might be treated as an independent thing which may be brought in by an additional entry. Then subsequently the Drafting Committee may work the two things together if accepted. Subject to that, this entry may go. Those interested in 122 may be permitted to bring in this in the form of an additional entry.
Mr. President : Your point is not touched so far as newspaper and advertisement is concerned.
Shri Deshbandhu Gupta : If it is felt that the Drafting Committee should provide this somewhere else then it would become difficult to revise the past, once a decision is taken by the House on this entry.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Before we conclude discussion of the three Lists this matter may be brought up.
Mr. President : I am prepared to allow this to be taken up separately when we take up 88-A which we held over yesterday. So the position is that the question relating to advertisement is held over, but apart from that, this entry is to be put to vote, as amended by Dr. Ambedkar.
Prof. Sibban Lal Saksena : When a ruling is pending how can it be passed?
Shri Deshbandhu Gupta: It will be simpler if it is held over.
Mr. President: Well, let it be held over. We will take it up along with
88-A which we held over yesterday.
Entry 58 of List II was held over.
ENTRY 59
- Mr. President : Entry 59.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : I move :
“That in entry 59 of List II, the following be added at the end :—
‘Subject to the provinces of entry 21 of List III’ ”
In List III we are going to say that the Centre should have the power to lay down the principle of taxation.
[The motion of Dr. Ambedkar was adopted. Entry 59, as amended, was added to the State List.]
ENTRY 64
†The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move:
“That entry 64 of List II be deleted.”
That is taken in the Concurrent List.
[The motion was adopted. Entry 64 of List II was deleted from the State List.]
