258 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

For instance, the motion that, the Bill should not be taken into consideration now, but should be taken into consideration at some later stage is one of those motions, I submit, which according to the rulings of the Chair heretofore could fall within your discretion, where you are satisfied that the reasons advanced by my honourable friends are substantial reasons, and therefore, you should put the motion to the House. For instance, the motion for recommittal is one such motion, because if you will kindly refer to these two volumes of Rulings,—I am sure you have..........

Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava (East Punjab : General): I do not propopse to move it at this stage: not that I am not entitled to move it.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Then it is not necessary to go into the question whether it is in order out of order. The second motion is .................
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : I am not moving it at this stage.
