Under the said rules, if the speaker is of the opinion that the notice of breach of privilege or contempt is fit for giving consent and is admissible under the rules, he may refer the matter to the Committee of Privileges for examination, investigation and report. In the present case, on 24-11-2015, the petitioner uttered the words\u00a0<i>raat bar ghoomne wali\u00a0<\/i>with respect to a lady member of the Assembly&#8211; Alka Lamba. The Ethics Committee of the House concluded that the petitioner uttered the said words in most undignified manner. The petitioner was found guilty of conduct unbecoming of an MLA and he was subsequently suspended from the house as aforementioned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The conduct of the Petitioner satisfies the test laid down by the Supreme Court in\u00a0<em>Amarinder Singh v. Punjab Vidhan Sabha,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/3PjC2MTF\">(2010) 6 SCC 113<\/a>. The derogatory remarks were made on the floor of the House during a debate on a public issue. It had a direct connection and bears proximity to the duties, role, and functions of the petitioner as a legislator. His conduct caused obstruction of the legislative function of the House as it led to the disruption of the proceedings of the House for two days. In such circumstances, the Court held that the order impugned did not call for interference. The petition was, thus, dismissed. [Om Prakash v.
