Shri Shiv Charan Lal: May I be permitted to move amendment No. 390 standing in your name, Sir?
Mr. Chairman: It would be better to know the reaction of the Hon. Minister.
Shri Shiv Charan Lal: It seeks to substitute the words “before the votes are counted” for the words “at any election” in sub-clause (1).
Shri Santhanam: It may be at any stage.
Dr. Ambedkar: I do not think it is necessary.
Pandit Munishwar Datt Upadhyay: I have an amendment (301) that in sub-clause (1) after the words “presiding officer” the words “or any other person on their behalf” be inserted. It may be that the boxes are in transit, they might be placed somewhere else, they might be in the custody of someone else. And these things may not be covered, by the present working. I consider that the introduction of these words appears to be necessary.
Shri T. T. Krishnamachari (Madras) : The other words which follow are : “or is or are in any tampered with...”That covers that condition. It is unnecessary.
Dr. Ambedkar: I do not think it is necessary.
Mr. Chairman: The question is :
