Supreme Court to Review Case on Parliamentary Privilege

Supreme Court to Review Case on Parliamentary Privilege

Imagine lawmakers have special rules to protect what they say in the Parliament.

C.T. Ravi, a lawmaker, said something someone didn't like, and the High Court said it was a crime.

He's fighting this, saying what he said is protected because it was at work.

The Supreme Court will now decide if he's right.

The High Court thought his words were against a woman's dignity and shouldn't be protected by the special rules.

The Supreme Court stopped any more action on the case for now.

The case is about whether lawmakers can be punished for things they say while doing their jobs.
