Likewise, the present rule is not favourable to the growth of self-reliance among the dependent members of the family. In a rich family, it offers a premium to extravagance, idleness and perpetual discord. Its injustice is manifestly galling. Take, e.g., a case in which a father has three sons and incurs the same expenditure on their education. He sends them all to England to be educated for the 1.C.S. One is successful, the other two fail. Of the two who fail, one takes to trade, the other is unwilling to do any work and remains idle. The trader earns a large fortune, which the present law allows him to keep to himself, because his education in England was for the Civil Service and not for trade. But, out of the earnings of the Civilian, two shares are claimed, one by the trader and the other by the brother who has been idle. The trader keeps his own earnings and also takes a share of the Civilian's earnings. Take again a case in which three brothers are given by their father the same education for the same profession and at the same cost. Though they.....

It was then thought that the bulk of eligible displaced-persons would have been registered as Citizens of India before the 1st November, 1956, but as this expectation was not fulfulled, it was suggested by the Election Commission that an Ordinance should be promulgated extending the said date tothe 1st December, 1956, in order to enable a larger number of these recently registered Citizens being brought on the electoral rolls. Accordingly the Representation ofthe People (Amendment) Ordinance, 1956 (No 9 of 1956) was promulgated. The proposed Bill seeks to replace the Ordinance.-Gaz. of India, 21-11-1956, Pt.

Arya Marriage Validation Act, 1937 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1937

.....as introduced, (now appearing as Cl, 2). We have omitted the definition of Arya Samajists. We were impressed by the difficulty of finding a satisfactory definition, and we consider that the proposal in sub-clause (b) of Cl. 2 that a declaration subsequent to marriage should suffice to establish that the maker of the declaration was an Arya Samajist, was fraught with danger. We are of opinion that the purposes of the Bill will be adequately served if the question of the religious status of the parties to a marriage remains a question of fact to be determined by the circumstances of each case. We have recast clause (3) (now numbered Cl. 2) in a clearer and more comprehensive form. We recognize that some provision must be made to govern succession in respeet of the marriages dealt with by the Bill, but we found that considerable diversity of opinion existed as lo what that provision should be. We decided by a majority that the most suitable solution of the problem is to provide as we have done in clause 3 that questions of succession shall be determined according to the Indian Succession Act, '1925.
