Apex Court: No one-size-fits-all rule for punishing lawmakers

Sets parameters over punishment to legislators

- 

The Supreme Court on Tuesday outlined key principles for courts to consider when reviewing actions taken by legislatures against their members. A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh noted that assessing whether a measure was excessive required careful examination of the unique facts of each case.

"Determining what constitutes a disproportionate measure is inherently complex and subjective. Courts must engage in a nuanced scrutiny of the specific circumstances surrounding each case," the bench observed.
