What is SC Ruling: No Immunity for Bribing Legislators about?

The Supreme Court of India ruled that legislators are not immune from criminal prosecution for bribery related to their parliamentary actions, overruling its 1998 judgment in P.V. Narasimha Rao v. State. The court emphasized that parliamentary privileges do not exempt lawmakers from accountability and that the offense of bribery is complete upon acceptance of a bribe. This decision aims to uphold the integrity of Indian parliamentary democracy and prevent misuse of legislative immunity.
