PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 153
order. After that the order is placed before Parliament. There is an interregnum. During the period if the President thinks that probably he has made an error he should have the power to alter or amend the order.
Mr. Speaker : So, this power will not extend to alteration after the House approves. Then it is final.
Clause was added to the Bill.
Clause 13
( Orders to be laid before Parliament )
Dr. Ambedkar : I beg to move :
For existing clause, substitute :
“13. Procedure for making orders under sections 6, 9 and 11. —
(1) As soon as may be after the commencement of this Act, there shall be set up by the Speaker—
(a) in respect of each Part A State and Part B State other than Jammu and Kashmir, an Advisory Committee consisting of not less than three, and not more than seven, Members of Parliament representing that State ; and
(b) in respect of each Part C State other than Bilaspur, Coorg and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an Advisory Committee consisting of the Member or Members of Parliament representing that State.
(2) The Election Commission shall, in consultation with the Advisory Committee so set up in respect of each State, formulate proposals as to the delimitation of constituencies in that State under sections 6, 9 and 11 or such of these sections as may be applicable and submit proposals to the President for making the Orders under the said sections.
(3) Every Order made under section 6, section 9, section 11 or section 12 shall be laid before Parliament as soon as may be after it is made, and shall be subject to such modifications as Parliament may make within twenty days from the date on which the Order is so laid.”
Mr. Speaker : I have just one doubt in sub-clause (3). The wording is “and shall be subject to such modifictions as Parliament may make within twenty days from the date on which the Order is so laid.” What is really intended, I think is that the motion for making amendments may be initiated within twenty days.
