A seven-judge Bench of the Supreme Court has ruled that parliamentary privilege or immunity will not shield legislators who accept bribes for voting or speaking in Parliament or State Legislative Assemblies from criminal prosecution. The verdict overturns a 25-year-old judgment, the JMM bribery case, which previously granted immunity to lawmakers who accepted bribes.

Articles 105 and 194 of the Constitution, protecting legislators' freedom of speech and independence, do not shield MPs or State legislators from bribery charges. The ruling underscores that such privileges are meant to facilitate effective participation and debate, not to condone corrupt practices. The Bench emphasized that parliamentary privilege does not extend to bribery, as it does not pertain to the essential functioning of the legislature. The verdict aligns with public expectations that elected representatives should not be influenced by monetary inducements in their parliamentary duties. It affirms the principle of probity as a central aspect of parliamentary functioning, ensuring the integrity of democratic processes.
