Read the passage below, and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage : Almost every year in one Indian State or the other, the press comes into conflict with the privileges of State Legislature. In case of Parliament, these privileges are popularly known as parliamentary privileges. There have been many instances when journalists were sentenced to imprisonment by Indian legislatures. The concept of privileges of legislatures is based on the British principle that a sovereign legislature should be able to perform its functions freely and effectively. For this purpose, it should possess certain inherent powers to punish for its breach of its privileges. The claiming of privileges, like many parliamentary practices and traditions, has its origin in the constitutional history of the House of Commons which fought for its privileges in the face of royal tyranny in Britain : the first instance of such a claim dates back to 1554. It is said that the king used to send his spies in the British House of Commons to sit in the gallery and to listen to what members were speaking there. The result was that the MPs who criticized the king inside the House of Commons used to be beaten or threatened outside the House. Therefore the British House of Commons thought that it should have privilege to expel any stranger or unwanted person from the proceedings of the House. This was required so that members could express their feelings on any issue fearlessly inside the House. In Britain no king or queen or their representative has entered the House of Commons since King Charles I in 1642, and that the place of the king in Parliament is only in the upper House. Slowly - slowly, as the House of Commons evolved in Britain, its other privileges also evolved. The most controversial privilege of the House of Commons has been the privilege to punish for its contempt. In our country Article 105 (3) and 194 (3) of the constitution of India deal with the privileges of the Houses of Parliament and State legislatures respectively. So far as reporting of parliamentary proceedings are concerned, that is dealt with in Article 361-A. According to the constitutional expert Durga Das Basu, the privileges of Indian Houses, so long as they are not codified by them, would be the same as enjoyed by the British House of Commons at the commencement of the Indian Constitution, i.e. 26 January, 1950. 46.
