Article 239 which deals with the amendment procedure does not address the foregoing scenario.
Answer anyone!!!

A Bill to amend the Constitution shall originate in the National Assembly. If the Bill is passed by the Senate with amendments, it shall be reconsidered by the National Assembly; and if the Bill as amended by the Senate is passed by the Assembly by the votes of not less than two-thirds of the total membership of the Assembly, it shall be presented to the President for assent. If the Bill is not passed by the Senate within ninety days from the day of its receipt the Bill shall be deemed to have been rejected by the Senate.
