THE EASTERN ECONOMIST 433 The Unhelpful Constitution THE judgment of the special bench of the Patna High Court delivered last Monday has declared the Bihar Land Reforms Act to be unconstitutional and repunant to the provisions of Article 14 of the Constitution which guarantees to every person equality before the law or equal protection of the laws". [...] These and other pronouncements of the High Courts on the consistency or otherwise of the various laws in the light of the newly drawn up code of Fundamental Rights have served to point out the virtues not only of the rights that have been guaranted but the reality of the independence of the judiciary in this land and the promise of safeguard it affords against the encroachments on the citizen' [...] The Southern India Chamber of Commerce is apparently not convinced by the Government's assurance that the Indian Embassy in Rangoon would maintain the closest liaison with the Government of Burma for the purchase of the maximum quantity of rice. [...] The recommendation is based on the solid experience of the last four years which gives ample testimony to the benefit derived by the countries of the region i the shape of a frank discussion of their problems and assistance and advice from the more develcped among the member countries. [...] The reference to the Tariff Board follows the recomendation of the Textile Control Committee which felt that one of the reasons for the shortage of supplies of dhoties and sarees was the unremunerative prices for the manufacture of these varieties as against copeting fabrics like plain sheeting.
