290 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Babu Ramnarayan Singh : Sir, you have already quoted the rule. I am sure no ruling can be given by any President against a Rule. The thing is this : there may be a subject under discussion in the House on which opinions may be divided—it is quite natural.

After hearing that, I shall give my ruling.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : My reply to that is two-fold. The first is the admissiblity of the motion as a matter of law, and secondly as to the reasons for the motion, they are matters of merit.
