SC Verdict Vote-For-Bribery: No immunity for MPs and MLAs, overrules Narasimha Rao verdict| Oneindia
In a landmark decision, a seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers, comprising both Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs), can be prosecuted under the Prevention of Corruption Act if they accept monetary gains in exchange for their votes or speeches in Parliament or state assemblies.
This ruling overturns the previous 1998 judgement of the apex court in the PV Narasimha Rao case.
An MP/MLA can't claim immunity from prosecution on a charge of bribery in connection with the vote or speech in the legislative house”(DISPLAY ON SCREEN) ruled the seven-judge bench.

The National People’s Party (NPP), led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma, has withdrawn its support to the BJP-led government in Manipur, citing the failure of Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s administration in handling the escalating unrest in the state. The NPP’s decision, which involves its seven MLAs in the state legislature, highlights the growing dissatisfaction with the handling of ethnic violence and protests that have been intensifying since May 2023. Despite this move, the BJP’s hold on the government remains largely unaffected due to its strong majority. This development marks a critical moment in Manipur’s volatile political and security landscape, with the NPP accusing the Singh-led government of incompetence in managing the ongoing crisis.
