Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between legislative privileges and the fundamental rights to free speech and privacy. The court emphasized that while legislative assemblies have certain privileges, these cannot infringe upon the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The judgment ultimately upheld the importance of balancing legislative powers with individual rights, leading to a nuanced interpretation of legislative competence in relation to constitutional freedoms.
