ABSTRACT
The word parliament is derived from a French work “Parler” which means “to talk”. Parliament in India is the supreme legislative body which consists of The President and the Two Houses. Parliamentary privileges can be defined as the special rights or immunities that are provided to the members of Both the Houses (Council of States and House of the People). These privileges are important because without these privileges the Houses cannot maintain their authority and there cannot be a smooth functioning of the house. In this Research Article we intent to analyse the power and privileges that are conferred to the members of both the houses and make a comprehensive analyse of whether it is being utilized in a proper manner or it is being misused with some important landmark judgements.
Keywords: Parliament, Parliamentary privileges, Immunities, Democratic.
