    "content": " It is true I did not touch that one because I thought I had really explained in my previous response that the language in the Standing Orders as well as the Constitution talks of all delegations. Notwithstanding the flowery language used by the Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale in terms of the Senate, paragraphs and phrases, the paragraphs and phrases have already determined that there will be 47 delegations. The reality on the ground is that even a vacancy in one of the 47 should be a temporary vacancy. The Constitution should not have contemplated a situation where we would have a permanent vacancy. So, you would treat that vacancy as transitory. It is not something that would be a permanent feature to the extent that you want another reformulation of that original formula. So, I think on the basis of that, and that vacancies need to be filled in reasonable time, that ruling remains."
