💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 121 of the Constitution of India explicitly bars discussions in Parliament regarding the discharge of duties by any judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court, safeguarding judicial independence. Parliamentary debates on judicial conduct are permitted solely when an official motion for presenting an address to the President for the removal of the judge is under consideration. Article 122 conversely restricts courts from inquiring into the internal proceedings of Parliament, maintaining a strict separation of powers between organs of the state.
