Sir, I suggest that we should begin with Part IV, Chapter I.
“Clause 1 (1) The Head of the Federation shall be the President (Rashtrapati) to be elected as provided below.
(2) The election shall be by an electoral college consisting of-
(a) the members of both Houses of Parliament of the Federation, and
(b) the members of the Legislatures of all the Units or where a Legislature is bicameral the members of the Lower House thereof.
In order to secure uniformity in the scale of representation of the units the votes of the Unit Legislatures shall be weighted in proportion to the population of units concerned.
Explanation.–A Unit means a Province or Indian State which returns in its own individual right members to the Federal Parliament. In Indian States which are grouped together for the purpose of returning representatives to the Council of States a Unit means the group so formed and the Legislature of the Unit means the Legislatures of all the states in that group.
(3) The election of the President shall be by secret ballot and on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.
(4) Subject to the above provisions, elections for the office of President shall be regulated by Act of the Federal Parliament.”
