PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 601
Officer adjourns the scrutiny on the first day because there is a riot he should hold the scrutiny on the second day or the third day ? The riot may continue.
Mr. Chairman: That is so far as the time is concerned. But there should be some provision that the Returning Officer should make his scrutiny.
Dr. Ambedkar: It seems to me that it is quite implicit in the clause. Our dramatists have a habit. If I may say so. If somebody is dead they must carry the corpse on the stage, otherwise the audience does not understand it. As I said most of these things are implicit in the clause.
Mr. Chairman : I will now put Pandit Kunzru’s amendment to vote.
The motion (as mentioned earlier) was adopted.
Shri Syamnandan Sahaya: I have an amendment to move, No. 24 in supplementary list No. 3. I beg to move:
In sub-clause (4) of clause 34, for the word “refuse” substitute the word “reject”.
The Hon. Minister pointed out that the word “refuse” has been used in reference to nominations and the word “reject” has been used in relation to nomination papers. I would like to draw his attention to sub-clause (4) of clause 34 where the word “refuse” has been used with reference to nomination papers. Perhaps “reject” may be accepted here.
Mr. Chairman : Amendment moved :
In sub-clause (4) of clause 34, for the word “refuse” substitute the word “reject”.
