Mr. Limaye raised the issue after the Speaker Mr. N. Sanjiva Reddy, had given his ruling on the S.S.P. member’s earlier motion seeking the House’s disapproval of an affidavit filed by Mr. Ranganathan in the Delhi High Court on the Kutch issue. The Speaker had ruled that the motion be postponed until after the High Court gave its verdict in the matter. Raising the privilege issue, Mr. Limaye said the affidavit showed that the Government had shifted its stand on Kutch by stating that part of the Kutch was in adverse possession of India. The House had to be adjourned 20 minutes before the scheduled lunch break by the Speaker, Mr. Reddy, as Mr. Limaye insisted that the privilege issue be decided.
