Article 388 of CoI : Article 388: Provisions as to the filling of casual vacancies in the provisional Parliament and provisional Legislatures of the States: Omitted.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Imagine that in 1955, a member of the provisional Parliament of India resigned due to personal reasons. According to Article 388, there would have been specific provisions detailing how to fill this casual vacancy. For instance, a by-election might have been held to elect a new member to serve the remaining term. However, after the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956, these provisions were omitted, meaning that the process for filling such vacancies was either changed or no longer specified in the same manner.

Example 2:

Consider a scenario in 1954 where a member of the provisional Legislature of a State in India passed away. Article 388 would have provided guidelines on how to fill this vacancy, perhaps through an appointment or a special election. Post-1956, with the omission of Article 388 by the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956, these guidelines were removed, indicating that the process for handling such vacancies was either revised or integrated into other parts of the Constitution or relevant laws.
