Gunupati Keshavram Reddy vs Nafisul Hasan & State Of U.P on 18 March, 1952

When there is a conflict, the privilege should yield to the extent it affects the fundamental right. This construction gives full effect to both the Articles. A This Court in Gunupati Keshavram Reddy v. Nafisul Hasan (1) held that the order of arrest of Mr. Mistry and his detention in the Speaker's custody was a breach of the provisions of Art. 22(2) of the Constitution. In that case, the said Mistry was directed by the Speaker of the U. P. Legislative Assembly to be arrested and produced before him to answer a charge of breach of privilege. Though the question was not elaborately considered, five judges of this Court un- animously held that the arrest was a clear breach of the provisions of Art. 22(2) of the Constitution indicating thereby that Art. 194 was subject to Articles of Part III of the Constitution. I am bound by the decision of this Court. In the result, I hold that the petitioner has the fundamental right to publish the report of the proceedings of the Legislature and that, as no reasonable restrictions were imposed by law on the said fundamental right, the action of the respondents infringes his right entitling him to the relief asked for.
