Truth as a defence in Contempt of Court Proceedings is indeed a welcome step. More importantly as the Honourable Senior Judge argues this is the first step. He has taken the extraordinary step of announcing his pride in not holding anybody in contempt of court during his service. While this should be adopted by one and all of the judges, it is necessary to provide to the public(Master!), a comfort that a legal functionary if found erring when examined under this context, under such examination by the appropriate authority shall be liable.
I strongly recommend that such a provision is debated and introduced in the statute.
