REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE (NO. 2) BILL - Page 584

PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 567

Mr. Deputy Speaker: If the Chapters have a continuing number and if the Parts also are there it will lead to confusion. We will not know to which particular part it relates.

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: But that is the practice in all Acts.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: But when the Constitution has set up a new practice, after the Constitution, that is our Bible.

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: Not in all respects. We are going to change it very soon!

Mr. Deputy Speaker: Very good. Then this will also be changed ! Is it necessary for the hon. Member to press this ?

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: No. Sir.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: The next amendment is No. 222 which says:

In sub-clause ( 1 ) of clause 10 for the words “the Council of States”, in line two substitute the words “the first Council of States”.

The hon. Member will kindly explain what this amendment is. Or, is he not pressing it ?

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : I do not know where I am. The House is proceeding so fast that even an acrobat will not be able to follow. I will have to look into the matter.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: The brake is always there at that end !

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: Could we not adjourn till tomorrow ? We have made very quick progress.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: This must be easy. The hon. Member will take his own time. There is no hurry. In 222 he wants for the words “the Council of States” the words “the first Council of States”. Is it because he thinks there is no provision here for rotation ?

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: Yes, Sir.

Dr. Ambedkar: Rotation is there in sub-clause (2).
