Consider the provisions governing parliamentary privileges and contempt of the house in India: Which of the following constitutional provisions originally referenced the privileges of the British House of Commons until amended?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 105(3) of the Indian Constitution originally provided that parliamentary privileges, immunities, and powers of each house and its members would be the same as those of the British House of Commons at the commencement of the Constitution, until defined by Parliament. This reference was subsequently omitted by the Forty-Fourth Constitutional Amendment Act of 1978.
