Certain high-ranking officials have special rights regarding participation in parliamentary proceedings even if they are not Members of Parliament.
Article 88 of the Constitution of India grants the Attorney General of India the right to speak in, and otherwise take part in the proceedings of, either House of Parliament, any joint sitting of the Houses, and any committee of Parliament of which he may be named a member. However, the Attorney General does not have the right to vote.
