Taking the last amendment first, that is amendment No. 173, because it is a short one, I invite the attention of the Drafting Committee to the unclear meaning of the phrase as it stands. In sub-paragraph (31 of paragraph II the phrase used is “Every such judge”, while in sub-paragraph (4) of para. 10 of this Part, the phrase used is “Every judge of the Supreme Court”. If this phrase “Every such judge” in sub-para. (3) of para. II were to be accepted by the House, it might mean that it has reference only to persons referred to in sub-para. (2)of this paragraph 11. Moreover, I see no reason why this should not be on the same lines as the language of sub-paragraph (4) of para. 10, where a Judge of the Supreme Court is referred to. It is meet and proper that this phrase should be modified so as to refer to every judge of the High Court categorically and not merely to ” every such judge”. Otherwise it might be misunderstood as having reference only to those judges referred to in paragraph 2.
