Mention the judicial powers of the Parliament.


The Constitution vested in the Parliament the power to impeach the President, the Vice-President, and the other High Federal Officers like the Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, Auditor-General, Members of the Public Service Commission etc. Impeachment is a judicial trial of the Parliament to remove high federal officers. While the resolution for impeachment is moved in one House, the other House sits as a Court of Trial. Approval of both the Houses is necessary for any impeachment.

 

Further, the Parliament possesses punitive powers to punish its members, and non-members who have broken the privileges of the House. This power is not ordinarily subject to the review of the Court. In a Parliamentary system of Government, legislative privileges are immune from judicial control.
