604 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Shri Shiv Charan Lal: I have an amendment—No. 99 of Supplementary List No. 1.
Dr. Ambedkar: I am not accepting it.
Shri Shiv Charan Lal: That is about the appeal—that the appeal should be finally decided about the nomination paper and it should not be a subject of an election petition later on.
Dr. Ambedkar: That matter is still under consideration. We will come back to it.
Mr. Chairman: The question is:
“That clause 34, as amended, stand part of the Bill”.
The motion was adopted.
Clause 34, as amended, was added to Bill.
The House then adjourned till Half Past Eight of the Clock on Monday, the 21st May, 1951.
Clause 35
*** Mr. Speaker :** Amendment moved :
In sub-clause (1) of clause 35, for the words, brackets, letter and figures “and delivered to the Returning Officer either by such candidate in person or by his proposer or seconder before three o’clock in the afternoon on the day fixed under clause (c) of section 28”substitute the following:
“and delivered before three o’clock in the afternoon on the day fixed under clause (c) of section 28 to the Returning Officer either by such candidate in person or by his proposer, seconder or election agent who has been authorised in this behalf in writing by such candidate”.
Shri Shiv Charan Lal (Uttar Pradesh) : I would suggest the addition of the word “duly” before the word “authorised” in the amendment so that the meaning may be more clear.
Dr. Ambedkar: I have no objection.
Mr. Speaker: The Chair will have no objection to add anything. But here it is expressly stated “authorised in this behalf in writing”. By the addition of the word “duly” it might create doubts that something else is required.
