800 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : I beg to move:
Omit sub-clause (2) of clause 2.
Sardar Hukam Singh : I beg to move:
In sub-clause (2) of clause 2, after “ Parsi” insert “ Sikh”.
Shri Brajeshwar Prasad (Bihar) : I beg to move:
After sub-clause (2) of clause 2, insert:
“(2A) This Code also applies to any woman professing any religion who has married a Hindu, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh.”
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : I beg to move :
(i) Omit sub-clause (3) of clause 2.
(ii) Omit sub-clause (4) of clause 2.
(iii) After sub-clause (4) of clause 2, add :
“ (5) Notwithstanding anything in this section this Code shall apply only to such areas or to such persons or classes of persons in any State from such time or by such stages as the State Legislature may from time to time by Act provide.”
Shri Jhunjhunwala : I beg to move :
To clause 2, add the proviso:
“Provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in the above clauses, this Code shall not apply to any person, unless such person got his name registered with such authority, and in such manner, as may be hereafter prescribed by Parliament, within one year after this Code comes into force and in case of a minor within one year after such a minor attains majority.”
Mr. Speaker: I called out each Member who has tabled his amendment or amendments and I find that Shri Shiv Charan Lal and Prof. K. K. Bhattacharya were absent when called. But, as we are following a procedure of calling out the number of the amendment it is possible that these two Members may not have expected that they would have been called so soon as that to move their amendments. Though I am very clear that they should have been in their seats when the Bill is taken up for discussion, as we are starting this procedure in the beginning. I am thinking of permitting them to move their amendments later on if they turn up in the House and wish to move them during the course of discussion on this particular clause.
Shri J. R. Kapoor (Uttar Pradesh) : Sir, there are two amendments of which I have given notice. One of them is an amendment to Shri Jhunjhunwala’s amendment No. 18 in Supplementary List No. 1.
