Then I put amendment No. 260, as amended by Dr. Ambedkar. The question is:
“That for clause (3) of article 8, the following be substituted:–
(3) In this article, unless the context otherwise requires,
(a) The expression ‘law’ includes any Ordinance, order, bye-law, rule, regulation, notification, custom, or usage having the force of law in the territory of India or any part thereof;
(b) the expression ‘laws in force’ includes laws passed or made by a Legislature or other competent authority in the territory of India before the commencement of this Constitution and not previously repeated, notwithstanding that any such law or any part thereof may not be then in operation either at all or in particular areas.'”
