With regard to Articles 278 and 278-A although they appear as two separate clauses, they are merely divisions of the original Article 278. 278 has something like seven clauses. The first four clauses are embodied in the new Article 278. Clauses (4) onwards are put in Article 278-A. The reason for making this partition, so to say, is because otherwise the whole Article 278 would have been such a mouthful that probably it would have been difficult for Members to follow the various provisions contained therein. It is to break the ice, so to say, that this division has been made.
