With these amendments,clause 17 was adopted by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on 6 and11 September 1956, respectively 89.

or circumstantial evidence. In Shashi Kumar, it may be pointed out, this Court found all the probabilities against the expert opinion and the direct testimony of two witnesses accepted by this Court also wholly inconsistent with that opinion. 6. In our view, the legal position enunciated in Fakhruddin case cannot be said to be inconsistent with the ratio of any one of the earlier decisions to which reference has been made therein. Now it is no doubt true that the opinion of a hand-writing expert given in evidence is no less fallible than any other expert opinion adduced in evidence with the result that such evidence has to be received with great caution. But this opinion evidence, which is relevant, may be worthy of acceptance if there is internal or external evidence relating to the document in question supporting the view expressed by the expert. If alter comparison of the disputed and the admitted writings by the court itself, when the Presiding Officer is familiar with that language, it is considered safe to accept the opinion of the expert then the conclusion so arrived at cannot be assailed on special leave on the mere ground that comparison of hand-writing is generally considered as hazardous and inclusive (sic) and that the opinion of the hand-writing expert has to be received with considerable caution. The question in each case falls for determination on the appreciation of evidence and unless some serious infirmity or grave failure of justice is shown, this Court would normally refrain from re-appraising the matter on appeal by special leave. The trial court in this case agreeing with the principle of law enunciated by this Court compared the relevant documents and arrived at the conclusion that they have all been written in one hand. The learned II Temporary Sessions Judge on appeal, after referring to the comparison of the disputed and specimen writings by the Trial Magistrate, himself compared those writings with the help of the expert’s opinion and his report and came to a definite conclusion “that the disputed hand-writings tally with the specimen hand-writing”. In the High
( 1) or sub -section ( 3) of section 74 , in so far as such loss relates to the business of the undertaking, shall be carried forward or set -off where such loss relates to any of the relevant assessment years 1[ending before the 1st day of April, 2001;] (iii) no deduction shall be allowed under section 80HH or section 80HHA or section 80 -I or section 80IA or section 80 -IB in relation to the profits and gains of the undertaking; and (iv) in computing the depreciation allowance under section 32, the written down value of any asset used for the purposes of the business of the undertaking shall be computed as if the assessee had claimed and been actually allowed the deduction in respect of depreciation for ea ch of the relevant assessment year. (7) The provisions of sub -section ( 8) and sub -section ( 10) of section 80 -IA shall, so far as may be, apply in relation to the undertaking referred to in this section as they apply for the purposes of the undertaking refe rred to in section 80 -IA. 2[(7A) Where any undertaking of an Indian company which is entitled to the deduction under this section is transferred, before the expiry of the period specified in this section, to another Indian company in a scheme of amalgamati on or demerger — (a) no deduction shall be admissible under this section to the amalgamating or the demerged company for the previous year in which the amalgamation or the demerger takes place; and (b) the provisions of this section shall, as far as may be, apply to the amalgamated or resulting company as they would have applied to the amalgamating or the demerged company if the amalgamation or the demerger had not taken place. ] (8) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this section, where the assessee, before the due date for furnishing the return of income under sub -section ( 1) of section 139, furnishes to the Assessing Officer a declaration in writing that the provisions of this section may not
a minister only on the advice of the Prime Minister . In case of a difference of opinion or dissatisfaction with the performance of a minister , the Prime Minister can ask him to resign or advice the President to dismiss him. By exercising this power , the Prime Minister can ensure the realisation of the rule of collective responsibility . In this context, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar observed: “Collective responsibility can be achieved only throug h the instrumentality of the Prime Minister . Therefore, unless and until we create that office and endow that office with statutory authority to nominate and dismiss ministers, there can be no collective responsibility .”4 No Legal Responsibility In Britain, every order of the King for any public act is counter signed by a minister . If the order is in violation of any law, the minister would be held responsible and would be liable in the court. The legally accepted phrase in Britain is, “The king can do no wrong.” Hence, he cannot be sued in any court. In India, on the other hand, there is no provision in the Consti tution for the system of legal responsibility of a minister . It is not required that an order of the President for a public act should be countersigned by a minister . Moreover , the courts are barred from enquiring into the nature of advice rendered by the ministers to the president. COMPOSITION OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS The council of ministers consists of three categories of ministers, namely , cabinet ministers, ministers of state,5 and deputy ministers. The difference between them lies in their respective ranks, emoluments, and political importance. At the top of all these ministers stands the Prime Minister–the supreme governing authority of the country . The cabinet ministers head the important ministries of the Central government like home, defence, finance, external affairs and so forth. They are members of the cabinet, attend its meetings and play an important role in deciding policies. Thus, their responsibilities extend over the entire gamut of Central government. The ministers of state can either

Chairman of the House concerned. V. EARLIER EFFOR TS TO REVIEW THE CONSTITUTION Even before the appointment of this Commission in 2000, certa in attempts were already made to review the working of the Constitution. The Commission itself has summarized those attempts in the following way11 : 1. There was nothing entirely new in the effort at reviewing the working of our Constitution. The debate had continued right from the first decade of the life of the Constitution. Also, every amendme nt had been an occasion for review . But, in the half-a-century and more since the Constitution came into force, whereas as many as eighty-five amendments have been instituted, there has been (till the setting up of the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution) no comprehensive and transparent official exercise to review the working of the Constitution in its entirety with a view to evalua ting its achievements and failures in fulfilling the objectives of the Constitution in the context of experience gained, and for future requirements perceived. 2. After the Constitution came into force, within two years, it was required to be amended. In the course of his speech on the Constitution (First Amendm ent) Bill, 1951, on 2 June 1951 Nehru once again repeated his views as to the need for the Constitution to be amenable to amendment. On this occasion, his words were trenchant and unsparing. He said: “A Cons titution which is unchanging and static, it does not matter how good it is, but as a Constitution it is past its use. It is in its old age already and gradually approaching its death. A Constitution to be living must be growing; must be adaptabl e; must be flexible; must be chang eable... Therefore, it is a desirab le and a good thing for people to realize that this very fine Constitution that we have fashioned after years of labour , is good in so far as it goes, but as socie ty changes as conditions change, we amend it in the proper way”. 3. Four years later, as an exper ienced
a Commission appointed under paragraph 14 of this Schedule by public notification order the dissolution of a District or a Regional Council, and— (a) direct that a fresh general election shall be held immediately for the reconstitution of the Council; or (b) subject to the previous approval of the Legislature of the State assume the administration of the area under the authority of such Council himself or place the administration of such area under the Commission appointed under the said paragraph or any other body considered suitable by him for a period not exceeding twelve months: Provided that when an order under clause ( a) of this paragraph has been made, the Governor may take the action referred to in clause ( b) of this paragraph with regard to the administration of the area in question pending the reconstitution of the Council on fresh general election: Provided further that no action shall be taken under clause ( b) of this paragraph without giving the District or the Regional Council, as the case may be, an opportunity of placing its views before the Legislature of the State. ______________________________________________ 1. Paragraph 16 has been amended in its application to the States of Tripura and Mizoram by the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution (Amendment) Act, 1988 (67 of 1988) s. 2 (w.e.f. 16-12-1988), as under,— ‘(a) in sub-paragraph (1), the words “subject to the previous approval of the Legislature of the State” occurring in clause ( b), and the second proviso shall be omitted; (b) for sub-paragraph (3), the following sub-paragraph shall be substituted, namely:— “(3) Every order made under sub-paragraph (1) or sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph, along with the reasons therefor shall be laid before the Legislature of the State.”.’. 2.
