The official considers taking legal action against the MP for defamation. Which of the following best describes the legal position regarding the MP's statement?

Accepted Answer

A. The MP is immune from any civil or criminal proceedings in any court for anything said in Parliament. — Article 105(2) of the Indian Constitution grants absolute immunity to Members of Parliament from any civil or criminal proceedings in any court for anything said or any vote given by them in Parliament or any committee thereof. This privilege ensures freedom of speech and expression within the legislative chambers, protecting MPs from external legal action for their statements made inside Parliament. While the House itself may initiate a breach of privilege motion if an MP misleads it, no external court can entertain a defamation suit.

Answer

B. The MP can be prosecuted for defamation, but only with the prior sanction of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Answer

C. The MP's statement is protected under freedom of speech, but a breach of privilege motion can be moved against the MP for misleading the House.

Answer

D. The MP can be sued for defamation in a civil court, as parliamentary privilege does not extend to unsubstantiated allegations.
