296 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Mr. Deputy Speaker : It is true that the honourable member who has tabled this motion, who is ordinarily careful with reference to punctuations has committed there error of not putting the word ‘re’. I ought not to decide it is a matter of form, but as one of substance and this motion for circulation comes after the report of the Select
Committee has been received. Therefore, it means under
4 P . M . the circumstances only ‘re-circulation’. I have already given the ruling. The ruling will stand. The debate will be continued by Seth Govind Das.
Shri V. S. Sarwate : Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to bring to your notice that I have already given a motion for re-circulation and it is based on those two motions. I do not know, why it was omitted in the consolidated list. These two motions are dated the 21st August 1948. I do not wish to take further time of the house. I will read the motion so that it can be taken up for further discussion. The motion stands thus ;
“That the Bill as reported by the Select Committee be re-ciurculated for the purpose of obtaining further opinion thereon”
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Have honourable members got copies of this notice ? ( An honourable Member: “Yes, Sir”) I will ask the honourable member to read it out.
