Abstract: This paper aims to look into the actual significance and implications of the expression "parliamentary privileges." The authors start by defining the term in its most fundamental form. They have extensively discussed the contents of Articles 105 and 194 of the Constitution before connecting them to issues with the British Constitution to add a little historical context.The Keshav Singh Case summary depicts how a mere political issue turned into a critical agenda of conflict between the constitutional institutions. It became a clash of power between Hon’ble High Court and Assembly. The whole situation provoked a constitutional crisis where even the President was called to subside the whole situation. It was protested to the High Court by the petitioner that the Legislative Assembly exceeded its constitutional jurisdiction by penalizing him for disobedience. The Habeas Corpus writ petition filed by Keshav Singh urged that the President put numerous vital constitutional issues before the Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court had to address these questions before the Allahabad High Court could rule on Keshav Singh's case.
