Parliamentary Privileges

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Special rights and immunities enjoyed by each House collectively and by MPs individually, allowing them to perform legislative duties without external interference. Examples include freedom of speech in Parliament, freedom from arrest in civil cases during sessions, and exclusive right to regulate internal proceedings. Breach of privilege can lead to penal action by the House. Such privileges maintain legislative independence and protect representatives’ ability to express opinions freely on public matters. Critics argue for codification to avoid misuse, as the scope of parliamentary privileges can sometimes clash with the right to information or fair legal processes.
