The Madras High Court has revived a breach of privilege notice against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and 17 MLAs over their participation in a gutkha protest in 2021. The notice, initially dismissed, was reinstated by the court, which found that the protest might have impeded legislative proceedings and breached legislative privileges. The court's decision reflects its stance on maintaining the sanctity of legislative functions and ensuring that parliamentary processes are not obstructed by external actions or protests.
