Crl.A. No. 451/2019
SITA SOREN VS UNION OF INDIA
The Supreme Court unanimously held that legislators are not entitled to immunity under Articles 105(2) and 194(2) of the Constitution of India for engaging in acts of bribery. This Seven Judge Bench overturned the judgment in P.V. Narasimha Rao.The Supreme Court established a dual criterion for determining when lawmakers could be granted immunity under Articles 105(2) and 194(2) of Constitution: first, immunity applied when the activity pertained to a collective function of the legislature, and secondly, the action in question must be inherently linked to the fulfilment of the duty of a legislator. The judgment was authored by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.
