Whether proposed amendment in law can be looked at for interpretation of a section?

Section 87 of the proposed Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Bill, 2018 cannot be looked at, at this stage, for the interpretation of Section 26 of the Amendment Act for two reasons: (i) Section 87, as ultimately enacted, may not be in the form that is referred to in the press release; and (ii) a proposed Bill, introducing a new and different provision of law can hardly be the basis for interpretation of a provision of law as it now stands.
