570 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Amendment No. 238. I think this will be taken notice of by the draftsmen. Amendment No.
- I think it is a printer’s mistake. It will be corrected by the draftsmen.
Shri J. R. Kapoor: It has already been corrected by the corrigenda.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: There is nothing in the correction slip. Why should this be out to the House ? It is a Printer’s mistake. I will ask the office to note it and the Hon. Minister may also note it down so that it may be useful for reference later.
Dr. Ambedkar: There is no corrigenda on the subject. It may therefore be better to accept the amendment.
Shri Santhanam: It is only a printer’s mistake.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Instead of ‘this’, it has been printed as ‘his’ That was not the intention of the framers of the Bill. It is only a printer’s mistake. Tomorrow, a spelling mistake may occur in the Gazette. I shall in the end formally say that all such formal corrections may be carried out. I am not satisfied that I should bring it to the notice of the House. Once again, a spelling mistake may be committed in the final draft. However, to avoid any difficulty, I will put it to the House. The question is:
In clause 11, for the words “in his behalf” substitute the words “in this behalf”.
The motion was adopted.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Amendment No. 240.
Shri Naziruddin Ahmad: That is necessary.
Dr. Ambedkar: Singular includes plural. This amendment is not necessary.
Mr. Deputy Speaker: Yes, singular includes plural. The question is:
“That clause 11, as amended, stand part of the Bill.”
The motion was adopted.
Clause 11, as amended, was added to the Bill.
