MR GANDHI

VIEWS ON FEDERAL COURT. DIFFERS FROM INDIAN DELEGATES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 23. During the discussion of the proposed Indian Federal Court at the meeting of the Federal Structure Committee of the Round-Table Conference today, Mr Gandhi, said he thought the Indian delegates’ speeches displayed insufficient .trust in themselves and in the ability of am Indian National Government to'conduct its affairs impartially. The communal issue also had coloured the discussions. He differed entirely from the view that the proposed constitution would give anything more than a framework for the Federaf Court and defining its jurisdiction, suggesting a start with a- proviso that, judges should serve for a fixed period. The rest should be left for the Federal Government to evolve. The fundamental belief of the Congress was that India should have her own Privy Council. It based its policy on trust and confidence, and believed that supreme should be established. India should be responsible for appointing judges and for other matters belonging to the Crown.

Other speakers included Sir Provash Chunder Mitter, who regarded Delhi a-s an unsuitable meeting place fo-r the Federal Court, and Mr Zafrullah Kahn, who urged that the prerogative of the Crown as exercised by the Privy Council should be left alone. Sir Muhammad Akbar Hydari urged that the appointment of judge® should be by the Crown.
