MLA C T Ravi seeks immunity from sexual harassment charges using parliamentary privileges.

BJP MLA C T Ravi argued in the Karnataka High Court that he should be granted immunity from a sexual harassment case due to his parliamentary privileges, as he claimed protection under Article 194(2) of the Constitution. Ravi faces charges after being accused of using derogatory language against Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar in the Legislative Council. The court will further examine whether this immunity is absolute or if it extends to criminal offenses, with the next hearing set for February 20.
