The Calcutta Review April 1952

1952

[...] He upheld the general rule of law and the liberty of the individual in Regina v. Paty (1704) in the following words: " The privileges of the House of Commons are well-known and are founded upon the law of the land and are nothing but the law. [...] The proposition that the claim of priviiege by the Commons could not be considered by the ordinary courts in any case was described by the learned Chief.Justice as " wholly untenable and abhorrent to the first principles of the constitution of England." But once the Court is satisfied that a case falls within the previlege of Parliament it refuses to exercise its jurisdiction over it. [...] But to make reflections upon the character of the Speaker or t9 impute to him any partiality or unfairness in the discharge of his duties or to refuse to execute or help in the execution of a warrant issued by him under the authority of the House is beyond doubt a breach of the privilege and a contempt of Parliament. [...] 105 and 194 of our Constitution the power and privileges of a House of the Parliament or of the Legislature of a State or of a Committee of any House are equal to those of the British House of Commons.
