A Member of Parliament of India or Member of Legislative Assembly of a State cannot be arrested in a civil action within a period of ______ before or after the session.
Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

CPC section 135A protects the specified legislative members against arrest and detention under civil process during covered meetings and for forty days before and after them. The question concerns civil process, not immunity from arrest for a criminal offence. The forty-five, fifty and fifty-five day periods have no basis in that provision.
