The Nalanda invites members of the legal fraternity, constitutional scholars, academics, researchers, students, public policy experts and interested citizens to review and provide their comments, observations and suggestions on a proposed Public Interest Litigation concerning the security, sanctity and uninterrupted constitutional functioning of the Parliament of India.
The PIL, proposed to be filed before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, seeks a comprehensive review of the existing institutional framework governing the security of Parliament in light of evolving security challenges, including physical, technological, cyber and institutional threats. The petition also takes into consideration past security incidents, including the 2001 terrorist attack on Parliament and the security breach in the Lok Sabha in 2023.
As part of the PIL, a Concept Note titled “Proposed Outline of the Parliament of India (Security, Sanctity and Protection) Act, 2026” has also been prepared. The Concept Note examines the existing security architecture, emerging threats and comparative international practices and suggests possible measures for strengthening the security and resilience of Parliament.
The PIL does not seek to compel Parliament to enact any particular legislation or adopt a specific policy. Instead, it seeks a direction for the competent authorities to undertake a comprehensive review, examine the Concept Note and take an informed and reasoned decision regarding appropriate administrative, institutional or legislative measures.
The Nalanda welcomes constructive feedback and suggestions on the legal, constitutional, institutional and policy aspects of the PIL and the accompanying Concept Note. Your inputs may assist in strengthening the proposals and facilitating a broader public discussion on the security and resilience of India’s democratic institutions.
