.....to the Indian Naval Forces. When the constitutional changes took place, action was taken to adapt this Act and it now appears as a self-contained Act. 2. This Act dealt largely with disciplinary provisions. There were no statutory provisions concerning the various matters of administration, enrolment, grant of commissions etc. 3. It was long considered that this lacuna should be filled and when the constitutional changes took place it became evident that it would be necessary to have a consolidating statute on the subject. In the meantime, in 1950, the revised Army Act and Air Force Act were passed by Parliament. It was not possible at that time to draft a revised Navy Bill as the present Act was modelled mainly on the corresponding British Act. In U.K., a special committee had been appointed to examine the question of the revision of the British Naval Code. It was thought that it would be an advantage to await the report of that Committee. The present draft has been made taking into account the report of that Committee. 4. In drawing up the present Bill, the provisions of the Army and Air Force Acts have been borne in mind, but changes have had to be accepted on account of.....

.....demoralising influence upon his character by inducing him to have recourse to dishonest subterfuges like benami transactions. 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.....
