The term parliamentary privilege is used in Constitutional writings to denote both rights and immunities. With the view to enable the Parliament to work effectively and efficiently and to discharge its functions without any kind of obstruction or interference, the privileges are provided to both the Houses of Parliament. The privileges are provided to each house collectively and to its members independently. An important and also a complicated question is, what do we understand by 'parliamentary privileges', "Nothing", said Dicey, "is harder to define than the extent of the indefinite powers or rights possessed by either House of Parliament under the head of privilege or law and custom of Parliament".
There are various definitions of the word privileges given in various dictionaries but as per Oxford dictionary, the term privilege refers to the “special right, advantage or immunity to the particular person. It is special benefit or honour”. Hence it can be inferred that the term privileges referred to the special rights and advantages that are enjoyed by the members of Parliament over the citizen of India. Various authors throughout the world have interpreted the word privileges according to the norms and scenario exists in their respective country.
