As per the Constitution of India, parliamentary privileges of the Houses of Parliament and of their members and committees include—
Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 105(1) secures freedom of speech in Parliament, Article 105(2) gives a member immunity from proceedings in any court for anything said or any vote given in Parliament or a committee, and also protects publication of any report, paper, votes or proceedings by or under the authority of either House. All three listed protections are therefore part of parliamentary privilege, so "All of the given options are correct".

Current law: Sita Soren (2024) held that accepting a bribe is not protected by Articles 105(2) or 194(2), overruling the contrary P.V. Narasimha Rao majority view. The ordinary speech, vote and authorized-publication protections in these choices remain; bribery cannot be added to their scope.
