Can Prosecute Bribery-Accused Lawmakers: SC

In a landmark decision today, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, ruled that lawmakers can be prosecuted for bribery, overturning a 1998 judgment. The court clarified that bribery isn't shielded by parliamentary privileges, contrary to the previous ruling. This decision nullifies immunity granted to legislators for bribery related to votes or speeches, as per the PV Narasimha Rao case.
