Ripusudan Dayal & Ors vs State Of M.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the letters issued by the Secretary of the Vidhan Sabha violated the petitioners' fundamental rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution, as well as Article 194(3), which protects the privileges of the legislature. The Court emphasized that the Lokayukt Act, 1981, provides a framework for investigating corruption and misconduct, and any actions taken against the Lokayukt or its officials must adhere to constitutional protections. The Court quashed the letters and complaints against the petitioners, affirming the need for due process in such investigations.
