Courts not to inquire into proceedings of Parliament
included in editionWhat does this mean?
Courts cannot question parliamentary proceedings merely on alleged procedural irregularity, and specified officers have related protection. The text should not be mistaken for a blanket exclusion of constitutional judicial review.
The Union's President, ministers, Parliament, Supreme Court and Comptroller and Auditor-General.
Why is this provision here?
Legislative autonomy and judicial independence need boundaries. This provision protects the particular institutional function described above without removing every constitutional limit.
This Article number belongs to the original constitutional framework, but its present wording may include later amendments or substitutions. A provision-specific original Assembly debate has not been verified here. The explanation of function above is editorial inference from the text, not an attributed single motive of the framers. The original draft-making archive is a research resource, not proof of a particular historical reason.
The explanation of purpose is an editorial reading of the provision. A drafting motive is attributed only where a linked historical source supports it.
