Article 122 of CoI : Article 122: Courts not to inquire into proceedings of Parliament.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

During a parliamentary session, a Member of Parliament (MP) raises a point of order regarding the procedure followed in passing a new bill. The MP claims that the procedure was not followed correctly according to the parliamentary rules. Another MP decides to take this matter to the court, arguing that the bill should be invalidated due to this procedural irregularity.

Application of Article 122: The court will refuse to entertain this case because Article 122(1) states that the validity of any proceedings in Parliament cannot be questioned on the grounds of procedural irregularity. The court has no jurisdiction to interfere in the internal procedures of Parliament.

Example 2:

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) decides to suspend an MP for unruly behavior during a session. The suspended MP feels that the suspension was unfair and decides to challenge the Speaker's decision in court, claiming that the Speaker abused his power.

Application of Article 122: The court will not take up this case because Article 122(2) specifies that no officer or member of Parliament, including the Speaker, can be subject to the jurisdiction of any court for actions taken in the exercise of their powers to regulate procedure or maintain order in Parliament. The Speaker's decision is protected from judicial review.
