520			_aOne of the most important institutions of the Indian Parliament is the Speaker's Office which not only serves the constitutional and, to a large extent, legislative ends, but also influences almost every phase of parliamentary life. Unlike most institutions the Speaker's Office is dynamic and deals with the actual needs and problems of the Parliament in the process of its development. What is more significant in the context of Indian situation is the fact that the office of the Speaker could become both a stabi lizing and a stimulating force in the parliamentary life of our country. While it should define the code of procedure for the members, it should also grant them freedom of speech and thought within its scope, thus assuring at the same time democratic stabi lity and parliamentary progress. It is, therefore, necessary that in India the Speaker's Office should also serve certain purposes, that it should work in the sense not merely of following a regular pat tern but of satisfying reasonable expectations.
