    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I note obviously that once we amend by deleting Section 7(b) we shall basically be going back to what was in the original Bill which was providing that the proceeding of the Vote shall not be invalidated by a vacancy in the Board, however, it arises. Obviously, a defect is part of creating a vacancy. Section 7(a) already covers everything irrespective of how that vacancy has arisen. Section 7(b) is only paraphrasing part (a) if we go back to exactly where we were, hence the amendment by the Committee. My recollection of this Clause was that there shall be no invalidation of the proceedings of the Board on account of a vacancy in the membership of the Board. That is what was already provided for and the Committee was attempting to now add the second one which is creating a defect. This defect can only create a vacancy which is already provided for. I believe that the entire amendment is not necessary, if we go this route."
