Why should Members of Parliament come to ague private party cases in Supreme Court? Shouldn't they concentrate more on their public duties in Parliament?

Yesterday I saw a member of Parliament, who is also a senior advocate, came to argue a matter in Supreme Court.

He was aggressive. He was arguing less and was throwing his weight, as an MP more on Judges. The judges were also feeling uncomfortable.

The clients of other side of case were feeling nervous. Will they get fair justice when a Member of Parliament has come to fight against them?

Hence, this question has come to my mind. Will they let go their salary of MP for one day whenever they come to fight for a Private Party in Supreme Court?

Why should Members of Parliament come to ague private party cases in Supreme Court? Shouldn't they concentrate more on their public duties in Parliament?
