A seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court has ruled today, Monday, March 4, that if any public representative takes bribe and asks questions or gives a speech in the House, action can be taken against him under the Anti-Corruption Act. This decision of the Supreme Court is completely contrary to the decision given on 20 September 1998 in the case of PV Narasimha Rao vs. State (CBI). In fact, during the Rajya Sabha elections in 2012, JMM’s Sita Soren had voted by taking bribe from an independent candidate. When this matter reached the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court had ruled with a majority of 3:2 that there is immunity in such cases under Article 194 (2) of the Constitution. No case can be filed against them.
