Similarly in regard to amendment 245 I want to submit a word. As it is, the words used here are “is satisfied”. We know how the words “satisfaction” and “satisfied” are interpreted. In fact it is not the satisfaction of the President at all. The satisfaction is generally of the Minister in charge. It is not even of the Minister in charge but of some Secretary or Under Secretary. Therefore, as a measure of precaution I want to substitute the words “is satisfied” by the word “certifies”, so that when the certificate is made full caution is exercised. Before the certificate is given the mind of the Minister in charge or the President is brought to bear on the question at issue. If the word “certifies” is there the relevant authority would certainly think twice before certifying. But if the word “satisfied” is there and this satisfaction is at the back of the public servant, then the protection afforded to him is obscure and illusory.
