Article 361 of the Indian Constitution provides certain immunities to the President and Governors of states. This provision has been in the spotlight due to a recent Supreme Court decision to review its scope.
The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the contours of Article 361 in a case involving allegations of molestation against a state Governor. The petitioner argues that the blanket immunity provided by the article prevents the police from investigating the charges.
The court’s decision will be crucial in determining the extent of immunity enjoyed by Governors. It may redefine the scope of Article 361, striking a balance between the need to protect constitutional authorities and the rights of citizens to seek justice.
Potential Implications:
The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the role and accountability of Governors in India.
