PANDIT M. S. M. SHARMA vs DR. SHREE KRISHNA SINHA AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court ruled that the privilege conferred by Article 194(3) of the Constitution is not subject to the fundamental rights under Article 19(1)(a). The Court held that the principles of res judicata apply, preventing the petitioner from reopening the decision made in a previous case regarding the breach of privilege. The Court affirmed that the Legislative Assembly has the authority to control the publication of its proceedings and that prorogation does not equate to dissolution, allowing proceedings to continue.
