On a point of Order, Sir, That point of Order is three-fold. Firstly, I would invite the attention of the House to Rule 38-A of the Constituent Assembly Rules of Procedure and Standing Orders as amended up to 31st May 1949. That rule refers to “any member desiring to propose any amendment to the Indian Independence Act, 1947, or any order Rule or other instrument made thereunder or to the Government of India Act, 1935 as adapted under the said Act etc. etc.” I would appeal to the House to read closely the language and the wording of this rule. It refers to ‘the Government of India Act, 1935, as adapted under the Independence Act, 1947’. Now the Bill before us which you just a few, minutes ago called upon the Honourable N. Gopalaswamy Ayyangar to move before the House refers to sub-section (1A) of Section 8 of the Government of India Act, 1935. I have secured from the library a copy of the Government of India Act, 1935, as adapted under the Indian Independence Act, 1947.
