Supreme Court no to PIL on codification of immunity to MLAs, MPs

NEW DELHI: Derogatory comments made by lawmakers on the floor of the House on Monday drew the attention of the Supreme Court, which termed the issue “genuine” but told a petitioner seeking codification of the immunity granted to MPs and MLAs that the matter did not fall in its domain. The apex court refused to entertain the plea seeking codification of the constitutional immunity from prosecution granted to lawmakers for their statements and speeches on the floor of the House.
