V. Breach of Privilege:
The Hon. Speaker gave the following ruling on Breach of privilege raised by Ski Irubzia;ho Faleirq M.LA.
. Ruling of the Speaker
I received a complaint ckbd 9-7-1987 from Shri Luizinho Faleiro, M.L.A. alleging I - a breach of privilege and contempt of the House by the Minister for Agriculture with reference to the reply given by the Minister to the Stasred Question No. 234 t
Sr. No. 4 of 9-7-1987. The contention of the Member is that the Minister has given a f d l s written =ply to bi&e t3e facts Wt Ron. Minister dld mt receive a c6mplaint from S M Alexandre Fernandes regarding RDA works in Chandor/Cavorim and Guirdolim Panchayats referred to by the Member. To substantiate his allegations ffie ~mba- has given a photostate copy of tlfe complaint and also alongwith it a copy of an agreement between Mr. Alexandre Fernandes and Jose Vaz simoes regarding sharing of profits in the RDA works executed by them.
I have g m e through the relevant pfoceeclmgs and &a tRe phomat : copy of the complaint and the photostat capy oE the agreement given by Shri Luizinho Faleiro, ML.A It is noticed that during the course of discussion in the House Hon. lKb&ter has clarified that they have not received any eomplsint s h W the sub- -standard work but the complaint was about the payment. It appears from &he reply given by the Minister that he has confirmed himself to the specific query put by the Member while giving written reply to Starred Questioa No. 23'4 dt. 9th July, 1987. I think that the written reply given should have been Woie elaborate but it could not be termed as a false reply. In fact while going through the pro- ceedings one gets convinced that the Hon. Minister has tried to elaborate the facts without hiding the facts. I rule that there is no prima facie case of breach of '
privilege involved or contempt of the House in this case but I- would like to put on record that Hon. Ministers while replying to the questions should express clearly and completely so that the Members get full informatioxi. I have also received another complaint of breach of privilege against Hon. Minister Shri V. G. Desai by hon. Member of this House Dr. Jhalmi today on 20th July, 1987. I will go through this and give my ruling in next two days.
Tuesday, Ikei 2 1st July, I987 E 9 Five Starxed Questioxis were answexed.

IV. Ruling by the Speaker:
Hon'Me Speaker gave the following ruling on the notice given by h. Kashinath G. Jhalmi, on breach of Privilege against Minister for Labour Shri V. G. Desai. For reading extensively from the notes brought with him in reply to the Debate.
I have carefully gone through the relevant notice of Breach of Privilege and contempt of the Speaker raised by Dr. Kashinath Jhalmi and also the relevant proceedings of the debates of 16th & 17th July, 1987 and also the explanation of the Hon. Minister, relevant statement for Breach of Privilege. The Hon. Minister fer Labour has questioned the correcimess of the rules observed by the Speaker on the earlier day i. e. 16-7-1981 a.nd stated on 17-7-87 "\fbet&ek it is correct the Rules?" antl also whether he was using his Discretionary powers? Further he has also stated "My colleague has read. He can rend, ntilerwise show me the rules."
The Hon. minister raised on 17-7-87 the above question contradicging ruling of earlier day i. e. 16-7-1987 (When the Deputy Speaker was in the Chair). I t would have been proper for the Hon. Minister to raise the question about the ruling when I was in the Chair as the Hon. Deputy Speaker would not have been aware then of the ruling of the earlier day given by me.
Now coming to the main issue, I had statearon 16-7-87 that if the Hon. Minister was going to read everything typed he could circulate the copies and I also further directed that he cannot go on reading extensively. In fact, I did not prevent him from reading. Hon'ble Minister tried to W e point of ordem on 17-7-87 against his felkw colleague in the Cabinet for reading of the bio-data of the President Elect which was not in goooil taste. The reading of the bio-data was in connection with the business of the House and was not extensive. They were details of bio-data which one cannot remember by heart and he has to refer to the notes.
In this connection, I would like to draw the attention of the Hon. Minister to page 96 "Practice and Procedure" by Kaul & Shakdhar Vol. I which reads as follows : -
"A member who protests against the ruling of the Speaker con~mits contempt or the House and the Speaker. Members cannot criticise directly or indirectly inside or outside the House, any ruling given, opinion expressed or statement made, by the Speaker. If a member desires to make a submission to the Speaker on the floor of the House, regarding a ruling, the Speaker may permit the member to do so after satisfying himself that it does not unduly interfere with the proceedings of the House. The member making such a submission cannot c~iticise the decision but can seek elucidation on any point, or request the Chair to consider the ruling in the light of the facts subndtted by him".
1
In view of above there seems to be prima facie some evidence to substantiate motion of breach of privilege. Similarly the Hon. Member being a senior memb~r and has held the Office of Dy. Speaker for 5 years, he should have been more careful before challenging any decision or observation or making some observatioc.
Though there is prima facie evidence against Hon. Minister I presume that Hon. Minister will act and behave as a senior member of the House in the future. Similarly he will also study and understand all the rules in future before requesting Speaker to quote the rule because it is duty of Hon. Members and specially senior
members to observe the rules and cite rules whenever required and set examples to others. The Ministers have to be more carefuI and responsible a s they are running the affairs of governn~ent and are responsible for all the utterances $I the House. The di-pity of the House and Speaker can be maintained by helping the Speaker to elucidate rules; sometimes there might be mistakes by Presiding Officers or member but the same can be corrected by becoming gracious in approach. If the ruling of the Speaker has to be reversed or modified, i t can be done by pro- cedure laid down in the rules.
The action of the Ninister was not in best tradition of Parliamentary Democracy.
ETowever, on going through the explanation of the Hon. Minister, i t is noted that Hon. Minister has stated that there was "not a protest' against earlier ruling nor ixtended to mean that the earlier ruling in anyway was wrong". The Hon. AZinitrjr has also stated that he has very high regards for the rulees and conventions of the Honse and also the n~lings of the Speaker. I a m therefore inclined to accept his sincere statement.
However this being the first occasion and as the Eon. Member being a new member of the present Government I wish to take lenient view of the entire matter.
I therefore treat the matter of Breach of Privilege and confempt of the Speakor raised by Dr. Kashinath Jhalmi as closed.
I. i ) Eleven Starred Questions were answered. ii) Twenty two Starred Questions were not reached and were transferred
to Unstarrea List. iii) Forty two Unstarred Questions were answered.
