DR. AMBEDKAR AND THE HINDU CODE BILL 1225
(XVII of 1114), or the Travancore Malayala Brahmin Act of 1106 (Regulation III of 1106);”
The motion was adopted.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Now, we come to part (viii)—that is the original part (v). It says ‘ “Part” means any Part of this Code’— Does he want it to go in ?
Dr. Ambedkar : For the moment, it is very difficult for me to say what I want to amend or excise. I want time to consider. Later on I may change it to ‘Bill’ or ‘Chapter’
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Then I will leave the origin (v) [ the present (viii) ] to stand over.
Now, I come to definition of “prescribed”.
Capt. A. P. Singh (Vindya Pradesh) : I want to add the definition of “Kul” in the definition clause.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Let us finish these first. The question is :
“That part (vi) renumbered as part (ix) of clause 3 stand part of the Bill.”
The motion was adpoted.
Shri Bharati : Is it understood that the word ‘Code’ may be changed ?
Dr. Ambedkar : It will be appropriately changed.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Part (vi) relating to definition of ‘prescribed’ as renumbered is accepted. Now, we come to part (vii) relating to definition of ‘related’. It is renumbered as (x). The question is :
“That part (vii), renumbered as part (x) of clause 3 stand part of the Bill.”
The motion was adopted.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Now we come to part (vi) of amendment No. 5 by Dr. Ambedkar. It says—in item (viii) as renumbered, for ‘any’ substitute ‘a’.
Dr. Ambedkar : Originally it was ‘any part’. I now say ‘a part’. But you will remember that you have held over renumbered Part (viii). So, this will also stand over.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : Then we come to the definiton of ‘son’— part (viii) of the original clause.
Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : I have got an amendment here. It is No. 127.
Dr. Ambedkar : It is a kind of power of attorney.
