Regarding the personal privileges of Members of Parliament in India, consider the following statements:
1. Members cannot be arrested in civil, criminal, or preventive detention cases during a session of Parliament.
2. No member is legally liable in any court for any speech made or vote given within Parliament or its committees.

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because the privilege of freedom from arrest for Members of Parliament is restricted only to civil cases. It is not available in criminal matters or preventive detention cases. Statement 2 is correct as members enjoy absolute freedom of speech in Parliament, meaning no member is liable to court proceedings for any statements made or votes given in the House or its committees.
