Supreme Court May Defer Ruling on Legislative Privileges and Free Speech Issue
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, indicated it may defer ruling on the constitutional questions about legislative privileges and freedom of speech after the Tamil Nadu Assembly informed that the 2003 resolution prompting the case was withdrawn in 2004. Senior advocates and government representatives agreed the issue might be academic now. The court suggested waiting for a live controversy before addressing these larger questions, with a brief hearing scheduled to consider disposal of the matter.
