The context where this occurs says ‘make such order as is necessary’. I wish to make it ‘as it may consider necessary’. This is the proper form. With regard to the large amendment moved by Dr. Ambedkar my difficulty is, that there have been slight changes in the new draft which has been circulated and then again in moving sub-clause (4) of clause 9 some further changes have been made. I am not in a position to see the exact effect of this new change orally introduced. I think he has introduced the words– Subject to the provisions contained in the Civil Procedure Code 1908 or to any law or provision of law hereafter made by the Dominion Legislature. I think with regard to the latter condition, this is absolutely unnecessary. This clause 9 attempts to amend Section 205 of the Government of India Act. This Government of India Act will expire–we hope–on the 26th January or thereabout with the passing of India’s Free Constitution. Therefore this amendment introduced by clause 9 of the present Bill will have a very short life. It will give a new lease of life to the amended Section 205 of the Government of India Act which is again also to expire on the 26th January. During this short period I do not know whether it is intended to introduce law affecting Section 205. If this is to be done, it is to be done now in this House in the “Constitution” Section and not in the other aspect of this House viz., the “Legislative” Section. I feel that unless it is intended to introduce any fresh legislation to affect the situation within this short interval, I do not think there is any necessity for these conditions. I do not know what these words really imply. Do they imply anything practical or merely a kind of a safeguard against a thing which does not really exist? I want only clarification. I do not move my other amendments Nos. 40 and 41.
