Oath to office suggests that Parliamentarians have fiduciary relationships of a kind with the Constitution and the people of India. The good faith norm in the Constitution seems to be most under enforced norm. Abuse of this good faith by Parliamentarians in the name of privileges is offensive to the dignity of this institution. Researcher has made efforts to find out the areas manifesting the abuse of parliamentary privileges and endeavors to find out the causes and consequences of abuse of good faith. Different instances and court cases related to the abuse of good faith in parliamentary privileges which relate to India or which are followed in India have been analyzed to find out how good faith is abused in the garb of parliamentary privileges and further the suggestions are based on this analysis.
