Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a bill was passed in the Indian Parliament amidst a chaotic session where several members were not following the usual procedures, like not speaking in turn or the session being conducted without the required quorum. A group of citizens, disagreeing with the bill, decide to challenge its validity in court on the grounds of these procedural irregularities. However, according to Article 122 of the Constitution of India, the court would not entertain this challenge, as it protects the proceedings of Parliament from being questioned on such grounds. The court would not intervene in the matter of procedural irregularities, thereby upholding the autonomy of the parliamentary process.
