Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Constitution (Fifteenth Amendment) Bill, 1962 which was enacted as the Constitution (Fifteenth Amendment) Act, 1963

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Several amendments to the Constitution have been under consideration for a long time. The Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha in November 1955, to give effect to some of them. For various reasons, the Bill could not be proceeded with, and it was allowed to lapse except the one relating to the amendment of article 3 of the Constitution. This article was amended separately by the Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Act, 1955. The present Bill contains some of the proposals included in the Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Bill and, in addition, there are a few more proposals for amendment of the Constitution. The proposals relating to articles 276, 297, 311, and 316 of the Constitution were contained in the Constitution (Fifth Amendment) Bill and they have been adopted with some minor modifications. The new proposals relate to articles 124, 128, 217, 220, 222, 224A, 226, and entry 78 of the Union List.

Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Constitution(Fourteenth Amendment) Bill, 1962 which was enacted as THE CONSTITUTION (Fourteenth Amendment) Act, 1962

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

With the ratification of the Treaty of Cession by the Governments of India and France, on the 16th of August 1962, the French establishments of Pondicherry, Karikal, Mahe, and Yanam became territories of the Indian Union with effect from that date. This Bill provides for these territories being specified in the Constitution itself as a Union territory called 'Pondicherry'. Under Article 81(1)(b) of the Constitution, not more than twenty members are to represent the Union territories in the House of the People. This maximum has already been reached. The Bill accordingly seeks to increase this number to twenty-five to enable representation to be given immediately to Pondicherry in the House of the People and to provide for future contingencies. The Bill also provides for representation of the territory in the Council of States.

STATEMENT OF OBJECT AND REASONS

 Under clause (4) of article 356 of the Constitution, no Proclamationissued under that article and approved by both the Houses ofParliament shall remain in force for more than three years. However,under clause (5) of the said article, a resolution approving thecontinuance in force of a Proclamation issued under clause (1) of thatarticle beyond a period of one year cannot be passed by either Houseof Parliament unless the two conditions relating to a Proclamation ofEmergency being in operation in the whole or any part of the State andthe certificate by the Election Commission that the continuation ofthe Proclamation issued under clause (1) is necessary on account ofdifficulties in holding general elections to the Legislative Assemblyof the State as specified in that clause are met. The three yearperiod in the case of Proclamation issued on 11th May, 1987 withrespect to the State of Punjab was extended to three years and sixmonths by the Constitution (Sixty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1990 andclause (5) of article 356 was also suitably amended by that Act in theexpectation that it would be possible to hold elections to theLegislative Assembly of that State. The prevailing circumstances inthe State, however, still do not hold out prospects for free andpeaceful elections to the State Legislative Assembly. Clause (4) ofarticle 356 of the Constitution is, therefore, proposed to be amendedso as to facilitate the extension of the said Proclamation up to atotal period of four years in relation to the State of Punjab.

TWENTY-THIRD AMENDMENT

Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Constitution (Twenty-third Amendment) Bill, 1966 which was enacted as the CONSTITUTION (Twentieth Amendment) Act, 1966

STATEMENTS OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

 Appointment of district judges in Uttar Pradesh and a few other States have been rendered invalid and illegal by a recent judgment of the Supreme Court on the ground that such appointments were not made in accordance with the provisions of Article 233 of the Constitution. In another judgment, the Supreme Court had held that the power of posting a district judge under Article 233 does not include the power of transfer of such judge from one station to another and that the power of transfer of a district judge is vested in the High Court under article 235 of the Constitution. As a result of these judgments, a serious situation has arisen because doubt has been thrown on the validity of the judgments, decrees, orders, and sentences passed or made by these district judges and a number of writ petitions and other cases have already been filed challenging their validity. The functioning of the district courts in Uttar Pradesh has practically come to a standstill. It is, therefore, urgently necessary to validate the judgments, decrees, orders, and sentences passed or made heretofore by all such district judges in those States and also to validate the appointment, posting, promotion, and transfer of such district judges barring those few who were not eligible for appointment under article 233.

FOURTH AMENDMENT

Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to THE CONSTITUTION (Fourth Amendment) Bill, 1954 which was enacted as the Constitution (Fourth Amendment) Act, 1954

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASON 

This  Bill seeks to amend articles 31, 31A, and 305 of, and the  Ninth Schedule to, the Constitution.

 2.   Recent decisions of the Supreme Court have given a very wide meaning to clauses (1) and (2) of Article 31.  Despite the difference in the wording of the two clauses, they are regarded as dealing with the same subject.  The deprivation of property referred to in clause (1)  is to be construed in the widest sense as including any curtailment of a property right.  Even where it is caused by a purely regulatory provision of law and is not accompanied by an acquisition or taking possession of that or any other property right by the  State,  the law, to be valid according to these decisions,  has to provide for compensation under clause (2)  of the article.   It is considered necessary, therefore, to re-state more precisely the   State's power of compulsory acquisition and requisitioning of private property and distinguish it from cases where the operation of regulatory or prohibitory laws of the State results in  "deprivation of property".  This is sought to be done in clause   2 of the Bill.

During the last fifteen months of the working of the Constitution, certain difficulties have been brought to light by judicial decisions and pronouncements, especially regarding the chapter on fundamental rights. The citizen's right to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by article 19(1)(a) has been held by some courts to be so comprehensive as not to render a person culpable even if he advocates murder and other crimes of violence. In other countries with written constitutions, freedom of speech and of the press is not regarded as debarring the State from punishing or preventing abuse of this freedom.
