Bihar Assembly Elections Oct-nov 2005

I glanced through the constitution to see if what Commie Somanath Chatterji said that they have power to expel the MPs and judiciary has no role is true or not. I couldn't find any reference to that effect. Yes, Parliament is supreme but in light of lack of law or procedures, they would have to first show the law to take actions and pass a law and take action. I think the expulsion of MPs is demeaning to the Indian democracy, just like imposing president rules over democratically elected state governments, that too doing so arbitarily and politically like Buta did.

Perhaps, I'd appreciate if any one can point to sections in constitution that support what Somnath said.

Thanks
