In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of India has overruled a 1998 verdict granting legal immunity to lawmakers – MPs and MLAs – from prosecution for accepting bribes. The unanimous verdict, delivered by a seven-member constitution bench led by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, has significant implications for the functioning of the Indian parliamentary democracy. The judgment marks the end of legal protection for lawmakers who have been taking bribes to make speeches, ask questions, or cast votes in the legislature or parliament. #SupremeCourt #1998Verdict #LegalImmunity #Lawmakers #MPs #MLAs #Bribery #IndianParliamentaryDemocracy #LandmarkJudgment
