NOTARIES BILL
- The Minister of Law (Dr. Ambedkar) : I beg to move for leave to introduce a Bill to regulate the profession of notaries.
Mr. Speaker: The question is :
“ That leave be granted to introduce a Bill to regulate the profession of notaries.”
The motion was adopted.
Dr. Ambedkr : I introduce the Bill.
** Pandit Thakur Das Bhargava : The amendment has not been supplied in today’s Order Paper, but with your permission. I beg to move:
“ That the Bill be referred to a Select Comittee consisting of Dr. Bakhshi Tek Chand, Dr. Panjabrao Shamrao Deshmukh, Shri Deshbhandu Gupta, Shri Gokulbhai Daulatram Bhatt, Pandit Mukut Bihari Lal Bhargava, Shri Prabhu Dayal Himatsingka, Shri Arun Chandra Guha, Shri Rohini Kumar Chaudhuri, Shri Banarsi Prasad Jhunjhunwala, Shri R. K. Sidhva, Shri C. Subramaniam, and the Mover, with instructions to report before the 31st August, 1951.”
Now, this is also a new institution. I do not know what obtains in the rest of the Provinces or in the States, but so far as I know there is not such an institution like Notaries Public in all other places except perhaps in big towns. I speak subject to correction. There also the work which is assigned to them is only under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
Dr. Ambedkar : No, all. Originally it was only under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
