SG: nowhere in subsequent part of Article 200, as soon as possible is used, that means, the Constitution did not intent to put time limit on exercising of three options...framers consciously avoided time line. Time limit prescribed was consciously dropped in Article 111 and was replaced by as soon as possible. Article 201 has given time limit.

J Narasimha: time limit is for the House to reconsider

CJI: could be read if Bill is not considered within 6 months, it lapse

SG: my point, reading time limit when not provided amounts to amending the Constitution.
