Abstract

The article examines the colonial origins of legislative privilege in India, the constitutional framework under Articles 105 and 194, the Supreme Court's interventions in landmark cases including Keshav Singh (1964) and Raja Ram Pal (2007), and the case for statutory codification of parliamentary privilege. It situates the recent breach-of-privilege proceedings against comedian Kunal Kamra within this broader historical and constitutional context.
