HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 cc4-5
Dr. RUTHERFORD

asked whether, in regard to the Gulab Bano case, he would lay in the Library of the House a copy of the full proceedings in the trial before the sessions judge, and also a copy of the judgment of Mr. Justice Robertson and Mr. Justice Rattigan reversing the judgment of the sessions judge?

The MASTER of ELIBANK

As I have already stated, I am prepared to lay on the Table a copy of the Resolution of the Punjab Government. The Secretary of State does not think it necessary to present any further papers.

Dr. RUTHERFORD

Has the India Office a copy of the full proceedings?

The MASTER Of ELIBANK

The India Office has.

Dr. RUTHERFORD

Then why is the House of Commons denied a copy?

Mr. MACKARNESS

Is it a fact that the judges in this case indicated their intention to reply to the Resolution of the Executive, and has a reply been given?

The MASTER of ELIBANK

No, Sir.
