Relating

Relating, the word 'relating' in Article 363, 'to bring into relation' or 'establish relation between'. In other words the provision of the Constitution in question must be linked with the merger Agree-ments or Covenants directly and immediately. It must have no independent existence. That is not the position under Article 366(22). It is an indepen-dent provision. It has nothing to do with the Agreements and Covenants, H.H.
