Seven centuries ago, an anonymous commentator observed that the law and custom of parliament was 'meet to be inquired into by all, but ignored by many, and known by few.' To no part of parliamentary law is this maxim so aptly applied as to the law of parliamentary privilege, a term which arouses contradictory passions in the heart of liberatarians.This book shows how the claims put forward over the years by developing legislative bodies in India, to exercise privilege comparable to those of the English Parliament were subjected to continuing resistance and accepted in their entirety only upon the enactment of the Indian Constitution of 1950 thereon.
Joseph Maingot describes the parameters of the principal immunity enjoyed by Members of Parliament, that of freedom of speech, which is restricted to the context of a parliamentary proceeding and not beyond. He points out protections afforded members other than parliamentary privilege and the view of both the courts and the legislatures concerning parliamentary debates and proceedings as evidence in court. He also sets out in detail what the House of Commons considers to be and not to be a matter of privilege, as well as the corporate powers of the Houses of Parliament.
