ALAGAAPURAM R. MOHANRAJ vs TAMIL NADU LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY REP. BY ITS SECRETARY

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution by six members of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly challenging their suspension based on a resolution dated 31.03.2015. The Court held that the suspension was unconstitutional as it violated principles of natural justice and the statutory rights under the Tamil Nadu Payment of Salaries Act, 1951. The Court quashed the resolutions and restored the petitioners' rights to their salaries and benefits during the suspension period.
