Parliament may form investigative committees, but it cannot constitutionally order the Prime Minister or ministers to "step aside."
Constitutional law — supremacy of the Constitution; separation of powers; Parliament’s powers to appoint committees (Art.90) — committees’ High Court-like powers and subject to judicial review; Right to fair hearing and natural justice (Art.28) — non-derogable; Vacation of office for Prime Minister and Ministers governed by Articles 108A and 116 — Parliament cannot order "stepping aside"; Parliamentary decorum and privileges — debate may be intemperate but does not necessarily invalidate committee formation.
