520			_aThis study is a penetrating analysis of parliamentary privilege in India, a subject that is commonly believed to be intricate and at times vague. The Constitution of India expressly links 'privilege' to be enjoyed by the Houses of Parliament and State Legislatures of India with that of Britain's House of Commons. The author defines with precision the nature and the concept of parliamentary privilege of the House of Commons and then traces the historical background of 'privilege' in India with reference to the gradual development of the law on the subject. The author also deals with the relation of parliamentary privilege to the law in India and discusses at length certain controversial aspects of 'privilege' in India along with some case studies on the subject. Prititosh Roy had originally written this work as a public competitive thesis and was awarded the Onauth Nauth Deb Memorial Gold Medal by the University of Calcutta. The work has been revised, supplemented and brought up to date. It carries an Introduction by Sir Charles Gordon, KCB, formerly Clerk of the House of Commons.
