The kerala government's appeal asking the supreme court to order the withdrawal of charges against senior cpi (Marxist) leaders for alleged vandalism in the kerala state assembly in 2015, when the state's current ruling party was in opposition, was dismissed.

E.P. Jayarajan and K.T. Jaleel, two of the six accused, were ministers in the previous LDF administration. The other defendants are former MLAs and CPI(M) members C.K. Sahadevan, K. Ajith, and K. Kunhammed.

"Privileges and immunity are not a sign of social standing, thus they are not on an equal basis. These advantages are related to the legislators' performance of their duties, but they are not a distinguishing feature that elevates lawmakers to a higher status "The order was issued by a bench of justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M. R. Shah.
 
The court further held that the kerala High court had incorrectly referred to the Sheo Nandan Paswan minority decision. "We have determined that such a commotion cannot be considered a Parliamentary procedure. According to Sheo Nandan Paswan, the high court's judgement that the trial court can look into the admission of evidence has been affirmed "The bench remarked.

The kerala High court has upheld the state government's appeal against the high court's dismissal of its plea seeking the dismissal of a criminal case filed in connection with the march 2015 disturbance. On march 13, 2015, the state legislature saw extraordinary events as LDF members attempted to block then-finance minister K M Mani from delivering the state budget.

On July 15, the supreme court deferred its decision in the matter of suspected corruption in the state Assembly. The complaint was filed for suspected crimes under several sections of the indian Penal Code (IPC), including section 447 (criminal trespass), and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. The current administration has filed an application to have the case dismissed.
