Mr. President: Yes.
Shri Jaspat Roy Kapoor: Mr. President, I beg to move amendment No. 2369 in the printed List of Amendments, Volume I:
"That at the end of article 158, the following new clause be inserted :-
`(2) When a resolution for the removal of the Speaker is under discussion the Deputy Speaker shall preside and when the resolution for removal of the Deputy Speaker is under consideration and the Speaker is absent such other person shall preside as under the rules of procedure of the Assembly is authorised to preside during the absence of the Deputy Speaker.'"
To improve upon this amendment I have given notice of amendments to this amendment. I will first move amendment No. 138 which runs thus :
`That for amendment No. 2369 of the List of Amendment, the following be substituted :-
That after article 158, the following new article be inserted :-
158-A. At any sitting of the Legislative Assembly of a State, while any resolution for the removal of the Speaker from his office is under consideration, the Speaker, or while any resolution for the removal of the Deputy Speaker from his office is under consideration, the Deputy Speaker, shall not, though he is present, preside, and the provisions of clause (2) of the next succeeding article shall apply in relation to every such sitting as they apply in relation to a sitting from which the Speaker or, as the case may be, the Deputy, Speaker, is absent.'"
There is yet another amendment to this amendment, No. 195:
"That with reference to amendment No. 2369 of the List of Amendment and No. 138 of List II (Third Week), after article 159, the following new article be inserted :-
`159-A. The Speaker and the Deputy Speaker not to preside at sittings of the Assembly while a resolution for his removal from office is under consideration. At any sitting of the Legislative Assembly of a State, while any resolution for the removal of the Speaker from his office is under consideration, the Speaker, or while any resolution for the removal of the Deputy Speaker from his office is under consideration, the Deputy Speaker, shall not, though he is present, preside, and the provisions of clause (2) of the last preceding article as they apply in relation to a sitting from which the Speaker or, as the case may be, the Deputy Speaker, as absent.
"That article 159 stand part of the Constitution."
The motion was adopted.
Article 159 was added to the Constitution.
* New Article 159-A (contd.) Mr. President: I now take vote on the amendment moved by Mr. Kapoor.
"That with reference to amendment No. 2369 of the List Amendment and No. 138 of List of List II (Third Week), after article 153 the following new article be inserted :-
