Additional Info SR.7/7 (18/10/1952) Summary Record of the Seventh Meeting (14/10/1957) Chairman: "only the procedural question was before the Contracting Parties at this stage, of whether to place the item on the agenda of the Session. (...) [R]equested India "to touch upon the substance of the matter only so far as necessary to demonstrate the urgency of the case (...)" India: "it had not been possible to give earlier notice of this item for inclusion in the agenda (...) This matter was of particular urgency because of the seasonal factor involved." Pakistan: "first heard of the Indian complaints on 4 October and had received the detailed paper (...) on 8 October leaving no time for his delegation to get instructions." Chairman: "suggested that the question be postponed until the delegation of India produced documentary evidence indicating that the case had been raised in July. It was not possible at the present time for the Contracting Parties to decide whether the procedures of Article XXIII had been complied with or not, and only after a decision on this point could they decide to inscribe the matter on the agenda."
