Legislators’ actions protected from legal action by parliamentary privilege, it tells SC
The Kerala government has moved the Supreme Court challenging a High Court dismissal of a prosecutor’s request to withdraw a case of criminal trespass, mischief and destruction of public property involving Education Minister V. Sivankutty and others who created a ruckus on the Assembly floor during a budget presentation in 2015. The televised images showed MLAs coming to blows on the House floor and hurling chairs, computers and other public property soon after Finance Minister K.M. Mani began his budget speech during the UDF government’s tenure. The State argued that the legislators’ actions were protected from legal action by parliamentary privilege.More Related News
