Abstract
Abstract: Immunity means a privilege enjoyed by a certain class of individuals which others might not have a access to. In reference to the parliament1 privilege refers to the powers and immunities given to each house of the parliament and its members collectively to enjoy the rights. These privileges are an exception to common law and allow the members to enact their duties without the fear of being threatened or punished, and even without any obstacle. The privileges of the parliament are equivalent to the immunity of the crown2 . Like the crown can administer without the help or interference of the parliament or the judges. Even both the houses of union supervise the privileges without the involvement of the judges. This paper talks about these parliamentary privileges in detail and to what extent the members can exercise them.
