CLAUSE 125.—(Administration of Federal Acts in, Indian States.) (Hansard, 27 May 1935)

§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I beg to move, in page 78, line 11, at the end, to insert: (3) All courts shall take judicial notice of any agreement made under this section. The Amendment deals with agreements which might be made, either in accordance with Instruments of Accession or with regard to the administration of Federal Acts in the Indian States. The Amendment merely makes a provision with regard to the Instruments themselves that courts shall take judicial notice of any agreement made under this Clause. Obviously an agreement dealing with administration, whether in or contemplated by an Instrument of Accession or not, is a matter which might affect the legal constitutional position within the State. Therefore it might have to be read with the Instrument of Accession in order to find out what the exact legal position was. The Amendment simply states that the court shall take judicial notice of it, if there is a necessity for any formal proof.
