# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 11/Part VII of the New Constitution

Part VII of the New Constitution
220. The most important feature of the new Constitution is that the Constitution of the States specified in Part B of the First Schedule, i.e., the States continuing as separate units and the Unions of States, forms part of the Constitution of India. Subject to certain essential adjustments, the Constitution of these States follows the Constitution of Part A States, i.e., States corresponding to former Governors' Provinces. The device which has been adopted is that a separate part, viz., Part VII, has been added, which contains special provisions governing the Constitution of Part B States as also the modifications subject to which the provisions governing the constitution of Part A States are applicable to Part B States.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 11/Establishment of Constitutional Relationship with Hyderabad State

Establishment of constitutional relationship with Hyderabad State.
222. The State of Hyderabad did not accede to the Dominion of India, although the Standstill Agreement entered into by the Nizam with the Dominion in November 1947, ensuring virtual accession of the State in respect of Defence, External Affairs and Communications continued till the enforcement of the new Constitution, by virtue of the Nizam's letter dated the 18th November 1948. The Government of India have respectedly declared that the political future of the State and its relationship with India are matters to be decided by the people of the State. Arrangements are being made for constituting in the State a legislature elected on the basis of adult franchise, to enable the people of the State to decide its political future. In the meantime the Nizam has issued a Proclamation (Appendix LIV) recognising the necessity of entering into a constitutional relationship with the Union of India, and accepting the Constitution framed by the Constituent Assembly of India as the Constitution for the State of Hyderabad. The Proclamation makes it clear that the decision taken by the Nizam is subject to the confirmation of the people, whose will, as expressed through the Constituent Assembly of the State, must finally determine the nature of the State's relationship with the Centre as also the Constitution of the State itself.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 10/Provision in Covenants regarding General Control of the Government of India

Provision in Covenants Regarding General Control of the Government of India
212. It was in this context that in the Convenant forming the present Rajasthan State, a new article (Article XIX) was added which provided that till the constitution framed by the Constituent Assembly of the Union came into operation, the Rajpramukh and the Council of Ministers would, in the exercise of the functions vesting in them under the provisions of the Covenant, be under the general control of, and comply with such instructions as may from time to time be given by, the Government of India. This provision was made with the concurrence of prominent popular leaders of Rajasthan. Similar provision was made in the Covenants forming Travancore-Cochin Union and by a Supplementary Covenant in the case of Madhya Bharat. It had been decided to amend the other ​Covenants as well in the same manner. In view, however, of the provision in Article 371 of the Constitution to which reference is made in paragraph 241, it was not considered necessary to amend these Covenants. This provision will enable the Central Government to direct processes of integration and consolidation and to secure good government of the Unions during the interim period.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 11/Control of the Government of India over the States during the transitional period

​241. Other Matters.—Amongst other important features of the new Constitution, in so far as they concern the States, reference may be made to the following:—
(1) Control of the Government of India over the States during the transitional period.
In Part X of this Paper, the reasons which rendered it necessary for the Government of India to assure general control over the Unions of States have been set out in detail. As the stress of the transitional phase is likely to continue for some time, it has been considered necessary that the Government of India should exercise supervisory authority over the Governments of States specified in Part B till such time as may be necessary. This is provided in Article 371, which reads as follows:
The following extract from the Statement made by the Hon'ble Minister for States before the Constituent Assembly on October 12, 1949, explains the policy of the Government of India in respect of the application of this Article:
It is natural that a provision of this nature which treats States in Part B differently from Part A States should cause some misgivings. I wish to assure the Hon'ble Members representing these States, and through them the people of these States, that the provision involves no censure of any Government. It merely provides for contingencies which, in view of the present conditions, are more likely to arise in Part B States than in the States of other categories. We do not wish to interfere with the day-to-day administration of any of the States. We are ourselves most anxious that the people of the States should learn by experience. This Article is essentially in the nature of a safety valve to obviate recourse to drastic remedies such as the provisions for the breakdown of the constitutional machinery. It is quite obvious that in this matter the States, e.g. Mysore and Travancore-Cochin, where democratic institutions have been functioning for a long time and where Government responsible to Legislation ​are in office, have to be treated differently from the States not conforming to these standards. In all these cases our control will be exercised in varying degrees according to the requirements of each case. The proviso to the Article gives us the necessary discretion to deal with each case on its merits.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 11/Guarantees regarding Rights and Privileges

​240. Guarantees regarding rights and privileges.—Guarantees have been given to the Rulers under the various Agreements and Covenants for the continuance of their rights, dignities and privileges. The rights enjoyed by the Rulers vary from State to State and are exercisable both within and without the States. They cover a variety of matters ranging from the use of red plates on cars to immunity from Civil and Criminal jurisdiction and exemption from customs duties etc. Even in the past it was neither considered desirable nor practicable to draw up an exhaustive list of all these rights. During the negotiations following the introduction of the scheme embodied in the Government of India Act, 1935, the Crown Department had taken the position that no more could be done in respect of the rights and privileges enjoyed by the Rulers than a general assurance of the intention of the Government of India to continue them. Obviously, it would have been a source of perpetual regret if all these matters had been treated es justiciable. Article 363 has, therefore been embodied in the Constitution which excludes specifically the Agreements of Merger and the Covenants from the jurisdiction of Courts except in cases which may be referred to the Supreme Court by the President. At the same time, the Government of India considered it necessary that constitutional recognition ​should be given to the guarantees and assurances which the Government of India have given in respect of the rights and privileges of Rulers. This is contained in Article 362, which provides that in the exercise of their legislative and executive authority, the legislative and executive organs of the Union and States will have due regard to the guarantees given to the Rulers with respect to their personal rights, privileges and dignities.
# Zartman v. First National Bank of Waterloo New York/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
216 U.S. 134
Zartman v. First National Bank of Waterloo New York
Argued: January 12, 1910. --- Decided: February 21, 1910
The jurisdiction in equity to decree the correction of errors in written contracts which have been caused by mutual mistake is firmly established and needs no citation of authority to sustain it. In the present case, the evidence of the mistakes in question was undisputed. We are not aware that the bankruptcy law has suspended that jurisdiction.
The position of the trustee in bankruptcy seems to be that the mistake made by Bacon in dictating or writing out the contract between himself and the Waterloo bank 'is an asset in his hands, as part of the estate of the bankrupt;' but we cannot agree to that. The trustee claims that he takes the same kind of title as a bona fide purchaser for value; but the rule applicable to this and all similar cases is that the trustee takes the property of the bankrupt, not as an innocent purchaser, but as the debtor had it at the time of the petition, subject to all valid claims, liens, and equities. Thompson v. Fairbanks, 196 U.S. 516, 49 L. ed. 577, 25 Sup. Ct. Rep. 306, and cases cited. And this is so well settled that our jurisdiction of the writ of error is exceedingly doubtful. Judge Williams, speaking for appellate division, fourth department, treated of this point thus:
'It is said that the bankruptcy of Bacon constituted a bar to the relief granted in this action. This cannot be true. The trustee took the bankrupt's property in the same condition and subject to the same liens as the bankrupt himself held it. The trustee is in no sense a bona fide purchaser for value, and entitled to protection as such. No new lien was created by the decision and judgment appealed from. The original lien was adjudicated and determined.'
We concur in this view, and the judgment is affirmed.

30 U.S. 304
Wilson v. Lloyd ex rel. Osg
Mr Justice JOHNSON dissenting.
As I understand the decision just delivered, it affirms a principle to which I certainly cannot yield my assent.
As the will charges the real estate as well with the maintenance and education of the children as the payment of debts, and there does not appear to have been at any time in the administrator's hands a sum sufficient to pay off his whole debt; I am satisfied that it is not a case of extinguishment: and that the payments made to the maintenance and education of the children, and the satisfaction of debts of an inferior order, are not to be imputed to the administrator as payments upon his own bond. They were voluntary payments, it is true, but they were made in pursuance of the will. But as to all other sums arising out of the personalty, and which were not applied to either of those purposes, but in fact sunk and wasted in the administrator's hands, I am clearly of the opinion that they are to be imputed to him as payments on his own bond; and that pro tanto, he could not be permitted to apply the proceeds of the real estate to the satisfaction of his debt; it was in fact a repayment on a debt which he knew to be satisfied.
And as to the amount paid, respectively, to the maintenance and education of the children, having an interest in the proceeds of the realty; I have no idea that they can be permitted to come upon the sureties of the administrator, for the amount so paid on their account. Indeed, upon the whole, it appears to me to be one of those cases of common misfortune in which the court ought to leave the parties as it finds them. If the personal assets were in fact in existence, it would be a different case; and there might be an equity in the heirs now to come upon the assets for indemnity; supposing that they might originally have compelled the administrator to apply the personalty in relief of the real estate. But when the assets are in fact wasted, I cannot conceive that a court of equity would ever compel the sureties to pay up the administration bond for the relief of the heirs. Their liability is legally confined to the demands of creditors and distributees alone: and I can see no equity in subjecting them directly or indirectly to the general equity of the heirs, in stretching that liability beyond its strict legal limits.
