590 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

Shri R. K. Chaudhuri : Only small fries are caught.

Mr. Speaker : No question of big or small fries.

Dr. Ambedkar : I think Mr. Chaudhuri may devote his attention to more serious matters.

Mr. Speaker : In view of the time taken and in view of the points of order raised here. I think I had better say that those hon. Members who want to move their amendments may please stand up. No other ?

Several Hon. Members : No, Sir.

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : I beg to move :

In part (c) of clause 28, for the words “date for the scrutiny” substitute the words “date appointed for the scrutiny”.

My reason for bringing in this amendment is that the words “date for scrutiny” are rather loose and the words that I have suggested, i.e. “date appointed for the scrutiny” are more precise.

Dr. Ambedkar : I do not accept it.

Mr. Speaker : The question is :

In part (c) of clause 28, for the words “date for the scrutiny” substitute the words “date appointed for the scrutiny”.

The motion was negatived.

Shri Naziruddin Ahmad : I beg to move :

In part (d) of clause 28, for the words “if necessary” substitute the words “where necessary”.

The existing words “if necessary” indicate a condition precedent; but the words suggested by me, i.e. “where necessary” refer to the occasion.

Dr. Ambedkar : I am not accepting it.

Mr. Speaker : The question is :

In part (d) of clause 28, for the words “if necessary” substitute the words “where necessary”.

The motion was negatived.

Shri Meeran : I now move amendment No. 328 standing in my name, in a slightly amended form which is acceptable to the Hon. Law Minister. I beg to move :
