The origin of the privilege in the country dates back early in the Government of India Acts, 1919 and 1935. With the enforcement of the Constitution of India, the Art. 105 and Art. 194 dealt with the power, privilege and immunities of the Legislature of the Union and the State, the Committees and the members thereof. The Articles themselves provide for certain privileges, namely, freedom of speech in the legislature, immunity of member from any proceedings in any court in respect of anything said or any vote given by them in the legislature or any committee thereof, and also immunity from liability in respect of publication by or under the authority of the legislature of any report, paper, vote or proceedings.
