No Member of a State Legislative Assembly shall be liable to any proceeding in any court in respect of anything said or any vote given by him/her in the legislature. Select the correct answer using the code given below : Code:

Statement 1 is incorrect because, according to Article 179 of the Constitution, the Speaker does not vacate office immediately upon the dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly. Instead, the Speaker continues to hold office until immediately before the first meeting of the newly elected Assembly. Statement 2 is correct as it reflects the constitutional privileges granted to members of the State Legislature under Article 194. No member is liable to any proceedings in any court regarding anything said or any vote given by them in the legislature or any committee thereof. This immunity ensures that members can perform their legislative duties without fear of legal repercussions for their speech or voting actions within the House. Therefore, only the second statement is accurate regarding the legal and procedural framework of the State Legislature.
