Nevertheless, we have allowed the<br \/>\nlearned advocate Mr. Raval to rely upon such materials and Mr. Raval<br \/>\nhas extensively read over such materials. We, however, direct the<br \/>\nlearned advocate to remove from the paper-book the materials which<br \/>\nhave been placed on the record without the permission of the court.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nappellants-writ petitioners are the members of the Gujarat<br \/>\nState Legislative Assembly. The subject matter of the controversy is<br \/>\nthe report purportedly made by the Public Accounts Committee of the<br \/>\nLegislative Assembly [hereinafter referred to as,  the<br \/>\nCommittee ] which the appellants want to be tabled before<br \/>\nthe House. The appellants preferred above Special Civil Application<br \/>\nNo. 16631 of 2007 for a direction to the respondent no.1 the former<br \/>\nChairman of the Committee, to place the report on the table of the<br \/>\nHouse; for a direction to the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker of the Assembly<br \/>\nnot to withhold the report from being placed on the table of the<br \/>\nHouse, or in the alternative, a direction to the Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nSpeaker of the Assembly to permit the respondent no.1-the former<br \/>\nChairman of the Committee to place the report on the table of the<br \/>\nHouse.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tAccording<br \/>\nto the appellants, the Gujarat Legislative Assembly Rules<br \/>\n[hereinafter referred to as,  the Rules ] are<br \/>\nframed under Article 218 of the Constitution of India.<br \/>\nRule-196 thereof contemplates constitution of Public Accounts<br \/>\nCommittee. Such  committee is to be constituted by the members of the<br \/>\nlegislative assembly by election. The Committee is, therefore,<br \/>\nanswerable to the Assembly. The Committee is required to consider the<br \/>\nappropriation accounts and the finance accounts of the State, and the<br \/>\nreport of the Comptroller &amp; Auditor General of India thereon. The<br \/>\nCommittee is also empowered to consider such other accounts laid<br \/>\nbefore the House, as the Committee may think fit. In exercise of the<br \/>\npowers conferred upon the Committee, the Committee had submitted its<br \/>\nreport to the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker of the House   the respondent<br \/>\nno.3. It was the duty of the respondent no.3 to place that report on<br \/>\nthe table of the House. However, in breach of the duties imposed upon<br \/>\nhim, the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker did not allow placing of the said<br \/>\nreport on the table of the House. The action of the Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nSpeaker has, thus, abridged or abrogated the fundamental and<br \/>\nthe statutory right of the appellants to receive information.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe<br \/>\npetition is contested by the State Government. According to the State<br \/>\nGovernment, the said report was not made by the Committee within<br \/>\nthe powers conferred upon it. The unsigned draft report was placed<br \/>\nbefore the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker. The Hon&#8217;ble Speaker,<br \/>\ntherefore, had to refer the report back to the Committee to prune the<br \/>\nreport to bring it within<br \/>\njurisdiction of the Committee and to place it before the<br \/>\nHon&#8217;ble Speaker.\n<\/p>\n<p> The<br \/>\nlearned Single Judge, considering the rival contentions; the<br \/>\nconstitutional provisions; the provisions contained in the Rules and<br \/>\nvarious judgments, did not accept the submissions made on behalf of<br \/>\nthe appellants. By the impugned judgment and order, the<br \/>\nlearned Single Judge was pleased to dismiss the petition. Therefore,<br \/>\nthe present Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate Mr. Raval has appeared for the appellants. He has<br \/>\nextensively relied upon the materials on record and also additional<br \/>\nmaterials which are placed alongwith the Appeal. He has taken us<br \/>\nthrough the constitutional provisions and the Rules. He has also<br \/>\nrelied upon the affidavit made by the respondent no.2-the Chairman of<br \/>\nthe Public Accounts Committee on 18th July, 2007. Before<br \/>\nthe learned Single Judge, the same was not permitted to be taken on<br \/>\nrecord. He has also submitted that the respondent no. 2 had made a<br \/>\ncategorical statement that on the date of hearing, the report was in<br \/>\nthe custody of the Committee. It was not possible that the original<br \/>\nreport was placed before the Court. The finding that the report was<br \/>\nnot signed recorded by the learned Single Judge, is therefore,<br \/>\nerroneous. The respondent no.2 had also stated that the report<br \/>\nwas signed before it was placed before the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker. In<br \/>\nsupport of his submissions, Mr. Raval has relied upon the judgments<br \/>\nof the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the matters of Special<br \/>\nReference No. 1 of 1964 [AIR 1965 SC 745]; of <a href=\"\/doc\/36589\/\">State of<br \/>\nPunjab v. Satya Pal Dang &amp; Ors.<\/a> [AIR 1969 SC 903]; of<br \/>\nArjun Munda v. Governor of Jharkhand &amp; Ors. [(2005)<br \/>\n3 SCC 399] and of <a href=\"\/doc\/647343\/\">Raja Ram Pal v. Hon&#8217;ble Speaker, Lok Sabha &amp;<br \/>\nOrs.<\/a> [(2007) 3 SCC 184].\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe<br \/>\nAppeal is contested by learned Advocate General Mr. Kamal Trivedi. He<br \/>\nhas submitted that it was an unsigned draft report which was placed<br \/>\nbefore the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker. The Hon&#8217;ble Speaker was<br \/>\nwithin his jurisdiction in referring the report back to<br \/>\nthe Committee, and in calling upon the Committee to prune the report<br \/>\nto bring it within the jurisdiction of the Committee.<br \/>\nHe has relied upon the judgments of this Court in the matters of<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/385748\/\">Chhabildas Mehta, M.L.A &amp; Ors. vs. The Legislative<br \/>\nAssembly, Gujarat State &amp; Ors.<\/a> [1970 GLR 729] and of<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/1121824\/\">Dilipsinh Vakhatsinh Parmar v. Gumansinh Vaghela, Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nSpeaker, Gujarat Legislative Assembly &amp; Ors.<\/a> [1998 (3)<br \/>\nGLR 2119]. He also has relied upon the judgment in the matter of<br \/>\nRaja Ram Pal [Supra], particularly paragraph 393<br \/>\nthereof. He has submitted that the said judgment was rendered by the<br \/>\nHon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the case where a citizen had<br \/>\ncomplained of breach of his fundamental right to liberty by the<br \/>\naction of the Legislative Assembly of the State. The observations<br \/>\nmade in the said judgment, therefore, cannot apply to the facts of<br \/>\nthe present case which arises from ordinary business of legislative<br \/>\nassembly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t He<br \/>\nhas relied upon the Gujarat Legislative Assembly Rules, particularly<br \/>\nPart-XV thereof. Part-XV of the Rules (starting from rule 153 to<br \/>\nrule 219) make general provisions for committees i.e.,<br \/>\nconstitution of committees; functioning of the committees; powers of<br \/>\nthe committees, etc. Rules 196 &amp; 197 thereof particularly deal<br \/>\nwith Public Accounts Committee. Rule-196 provides for constitution of<br \/>\nthe Public Accounts Committee and Rule-197 provides for the functions<br \/>\nof that committee. Rule-182 of the Rules empowers a Committee, with<br \/>\nthe approval of the Speaker, to make detailed rules of procedure to<br \/>\nsupplement the provisions contained in the rules in Part-XV. In<br \/>\nexercise of the said power, the Public Accounts Committee has framed<br \/>\nRules of Procedure [Internal Working] of the Public Accounts<br \/>\nCommittee. Rule-23 thereof provides for preparation of draft report<br \/>\nby the  Secretariat. Rule 24 thereof provides that,  As soon<br \/>\nas the draft Report has been approved by the committee it shall be<br \/>\nsigned by the Chairman on behalf of the committee and it shall be<br \/>\nprinted and presented to the House.  Thus, a report made by<br \/>\nthe Committee, unless it is signed by the Chairman of the Committee,<br \/>\ncannot be said to be a report which could be presented to the House.<br \/>\nAs pointed out in the counter-affidavit, the purported report was not<br \/>\na signed report and remained unsigned even after it was referred back<br \/>\nto the committee by the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tRule-156<br \/>\nof the Rules empowers the Speaker to issue directions relating to the<br \/>\ndetailed working of the Rules. Rule-183 of the Rules provides that a<br \/>\ncommittee shall function under the general control and supervision of<br \/>\nthe Speaker and the Speaker is empowered to issue such directions as<br \/>\nmay be necessary for the efficient working of the Committee or for<br \/>\nregulating its procedure and organization of its work.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t We<br \/>\nagree with the finding of the learned Single Judge that the Public<br \/>\nAccounts Committee has to function under the general control and<br \/>\nsupervision of the Speaker of the Assembly. The contention that the<br \/>\nPublic Accounts Committee is answerable to the House alone and the<br \/>\nSpeaker has no control over it has rightly been rejected by the<br \/>\nlearned Single Judge. We are of the opinion that the learned Single<br \/>\nJudge has rightly refused to interfere with the impugned<br \/>\naction of the Hon&#8217;ble Speaker.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t No<br \/>\ncase for interference is made out. The Appeal is dismissed in<br \/>\nlimine.\n<\/p>\n<p>{Miss<br \/>\nR.M Doshit, J.}<\/p>\n<p>{Sharad<br \/>\nD.
