    "content": "Hon. Khalwale, you have risen on a point of order. You have raised your issues under Standing Order 216. To begin with, the Speaker has given a ruling on the same. You do not expect the Deputy Speaker to rule other than what the Chair has ruled. That is provided for in the Standing Order No.268, which says “a Motion may with the approval of the Speaker”. The Speaker has given a direction on this matter, and the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker, cannot give another direction on the same matter here. Not only that exemption of business from the certain provisions of the Standing Orders--- Let us proceed. If you go and read the other provisions of Standing Order No.216, there are certain other steps within the Standing Orders that you are not exempted from. Not only that, the Constitution is superior to the Standing Orders. The Constitution is very categorical. Article 124(4) says:- “When a House of Parliament considers any appointment for which its approval is required under this Constitution or an Act of Parliament – (a) the appointment shall be considered by a Committee of the relevant House; (b) the Committee’s recommendations shall be tabled in the House for approval; and (c) the proceedings of the committee and the House shall be in public.” Hon. Khalwale, whereas the Chair congratulates you for being re-elected after the petition, the Chair rules that you are out of order!"
