I move amendment No. 86b:

In page 28, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

“Government’s function under Article 35 of Constitution

41. No provision of this Act affects in any way the function and duty of the Government, in advising the President on appointment to judicial office under Article 35 of the Constitution, to advise in accordance with its own judgment and preference the appointment of any person who is eligible to be appointed to such judicial office.”.
