Rullng of the Speaker on the n&ce rewived from Herculrwno Dourado . '

On 9th October, 1980, a t zero hours my attention was invited by Hon. ~emb"e'r\, Shri Herculano Dourado to a news item 2ppeared in the 9th October, issue of West Coast Times under caption "and Herculano's eomfort". While raising the issue the Hon. Member has also given a notice in w r i ~ - g as required by Rule 74 of the Rules of Procedure. The complaint received from the member reads as under:-

From:

Shri Hereulano Dourado, &¶LA. Date: 9th October, 1880.

To:

The Secretary, Legislative Assembly of Gos, Daman a d DAU, Panaji.

Sk,

Under Rule 74 sf t3e Rules of Procedurtt and Conduct of Busin- of the Legislative Assembly, I wish to raise a question of Breach of Privilege and contempt of the House against the Editor and the Publisher of West Coast Times for -having reported s newe item under caption "an6 Eerc-&no's comfort".

Or? 8th October, 1980 a t zero hours, I brought to the notice of this august House and Hon. Speaker that I am staying in the Circuit House and on that particular day due to paucity of staff I was served lunch only a t 2.20 p.m. and I had to attend Session a t 2.30 p.m. I suggested that members may be accommo- dated in Tourist Hostel as members are not provided with transport. The Tourist Hostel being near to the Assembly Hall, the members can walk down to attend the session. My suggestion was not for my personal comfort but to be punctual for attending this Assembly session in my capacity as M.L.A. i. e. as representative of the people.

The paper has reported that 1 complained that the food was not properly served, whereas my complaint was regarding delay ?n serving food.

It is my contention that the paper has distorted and suppressed my statement regarding delay in senring food with malice and has given a headline in order to mislead its readers that I spoke about my comfort. The paper did not make a mention about my anxiety to attenc; the Session in time.

The Editor and Fubiisher of the papsr is therafore guilty of Breach of FriWega srr;d Contempt of the House.

P

- : The Breach of Privilege arid Contempt of the Eoarse allsing out of publication i

,,iorZ false or distorted report of debates has been dealt by Kaul & Shakdher a t page 225 of their book on Practice and Procedure of Parliament (Volume I). I t is stated in the opening palagraph tha tmnna l ly no restricricms are imposed cm reporting the proceedings cf the House. But when the debat5s are reported malafides 2. e. when a wiUlilf~A ~nisrepresenta~tio~ of the de'mte arises the offender is liable to punish- ment for commiliag a Breach of Privilege and Contempt oif the Hoaqe,

As contended by the Hon. meznber, I am convinced that the paper has distorted the speech of the Eember and made no menti02 zbo,xt tb-e member's complaint on the delay in the serving food a t Circuit Home with mdafide intention d hrts given a headline which misrepresent the Member's speech. The Hon. Member was anxiow to get the fosd in time in order to bc p'mctual in attending the Session is his prime duty as a] at. L. A. T11e Member's anxiety in attending the Session in time has k e n tctally distorted by the paper m d reported in an entirely different version which infers that the member was worried a h ~ t his own com£ort, and the reporting was in the natxre of being dei-isive.

The impugned news item is t2us a w3ul m;~srepr~sen+.aticsl of the sgeech of the member and thw pr'rma-faci: amounts to Breach 0.f Privilege md ~ o h t e m ~ t of the House. I expected that on the very next day the paper will publish their apology and would give the correct version of t'ne speech W i t to my surprise Em 11th October, issue of the West Coast Tilnes has published a cartoon stating in a sarcastic and derisive manner "with a2 advaced apology to the Eon. Member who is reported

- to have said everyone is trying to take N.L.As lightly". Thebcartoon seeks to cast aspersions m t l~is august House and its members inci~:&ng Eon. Spezker and agge- sates the offence committed by the paper by its 9th October issw which is raised by the mem5er.

It i s I.& the Sgraker or bhzt the Members a? this august IIouse do not appre- cia% the sense of hlrmour but in this particular czss, the seme of humour has been maliciously misplaced.

I am, therefore of the opi~ion that tile Editor, -%blisher a id Corrqxmdent of the West Coast Ti-mes and Lhe concerned cartomist ssrs guiity of Breach of Privilege and Contempt of the Home and accordingly, I refer the IIon. MemSer's complaint as well as the above mentioned cartoon published ia the l i i h O c t o k , issue of the West Coast Times with the titie "-4sembly Sessioc" to Lie cormnittee on Privileges for examination, investigation and report. The cartoon is referred suo-moto in exercise of the prvnrers vested in me irnder RuleSi o f the Rules ef Procedure

/' </Ruling of the Speaker on the breach of privilege arising out of tEe telegram

addressed to the Hon. Members in the name of Mathany Saldanha, General Seere- t a q , Q. Ib. E.

On 9th October, 1980 a t zero hours Hon. Members invited my attention. be n

telegram received by them from Matany Saldanha, General Secretary, G.R:&% The Hon. Members were of the opinion that the telegram constitute Breach of Privilege and Contempt of the House and appropriate action should be taken against the author of the impugned telegram. Bug the Members did not give any complaint or notice in writing as required under t i e rules.

However, as the Hon. Members have appraised our Department about the matter by raising the issue on the floor of the House and han&ed over the telegrams a t the table, the point was exanlined by the Legislature Department. Subsequenfly on the same day I have also received a similar telegram. But since the impugned matter is in the form of telegram it was dii'ficult to confirm the author -of the same though it was sent in the n a r ~ e of Matany Saldanha. But now Hon Members Shri V. D. Chodankar and Shri Babuso Gaonkar have handed over the copies received by them by post which carried the signature of Shri Matany Saldanha, - General Secretary GRE. Having examined the matter the Secretary of the -4ssembly has given a report under Rule 73 of Rules of Procedure and conduct of Business which reads as under:

Government of Goa, Darnan and Diu. Legislature Department, Secretariat Panaji. Dated: 13th October, 1980,

From:

M. XI. Naik,

Secretary, Legislature.

The Speaker, . Legislature Assembly of Goa, Daman and Diu:

Secretariat, Panaji.

Sir,

Under Rule 73 of the Rules of Procedure and Conducz of Business, I wish to report to' you on the serious Sreach of Privilege anG contempt of the Mouse arising out of the telegram addressed to the Hon. Wiembers in the name of Matany Saldanha, Secretary GRE which is worded as under:

"TRADITIONAL FISHERMEN OF GOA SHALL NOT TOLLERATE ANY FURTHER DELAY IN PASSING MARINE REGULATION BILL 1980 STOP WE DONT NEED SELECT CO?J~MITTEES STOP TRADITIONAL FISHERMEN WATCHING YOU CAREFULLY BIASSES CANNOT ALWAYS BE FOOLED."

I was appraised. of the matter a t zero hour on 9th October, 1980 when the Hon. Members raised the issued on the floor of the House and many of them handed over the copies of the telegram received by them a t the Table. Subsequently -

e ' j n 13th. October, 1080 at zero hour, Hon. Members S/Shrt V. D. Chadanltar and ,.Babuso Gaonkar handed over a t the table the copies of the- telegrams received ' by'them by post which carried the signature of Shri Matany Saldanha.

It is my submission that the wording of the telegram under reference tends to intimidate the Hon. Members by threats with a view to influence them in their parliamentary conduct and as such amount to breach of privilege especially because, the motion for consideration of the Marine Fishing Regulation Bill, 1980 and the amendment to the said motion to refer the Bill to Select Committee are pending before the House.

Yours faithfully,

Secretary

By virtue of section 16 of Government of Union territories Act, 1963 read with article 105 of the Constitution the powers, privileges and immunities of the Legfxlative Assembly of a Union territory and of the members and the committees thereof shall be such as are enjoyed by the House of Commons a t the commence- ment of the constitution. In 1780 the House of Commons passed the following resolution :

"That it is a gross breach of privilege of this House for any person to obstruct and insult the members of this House in the coming to or the going from the House and to endeavour to compel member by force to declare themselves in favour or against any proposition then pending or expected to be brought before the House". , 4

It k also stated a t page 232 of Kaul and Shakdher as under:

*''Any attempt to influence the member otherwise than by way of argument, . . which has as its motive the intention to deter him from performing his duty,

constitute a breach of privilege. Thus an attempt to intimidate members by threats with a view to influence them in their Parliamentary conduct is a breach of privilege",

Therefore the point before us is whether the impugned telegram endeavour to compel members by force to declare themselves in favour or against any proposition pending before or expected to be brought before the House.

The impugned telegrams were issued a t 23-40 hrs. on 8th October, 1980. I t may be recalled in this connection that the Goa, Daman and Diu Fishing Regulation, Bill, 1980 was moved for consideration on 8th October, 1980 and on the same day Hon. Member Shri V. D. Chodankar moved an amendment to the motion to refer the Bill to Select Committee. The debate on the original motion and the amendment to refer the Bill to Select Committee was not concluded on 8th Oct. 1980, and both the motions were pending before the House when the telegrams were issued. Eventhough the impugned telegram does not convey any definite threat, the wordings used. therein especially "Traditional Fisherman of Goa shall

,.- ,- .- . _ _ P - ,'.. ,.-. +

not tolerate & y further- delay in passing M&ne ~egblat ion Bfll, %%0'"antf" a "traditional fishermen watching you carefully" may tend to create apprehension-

-\ in the minas of the Hon. Members and may influence and deter them in performing their duties while voting for the amendment to the notion to refer the Marine Fishing Regulation Bill to the Select Committee.

I am therefore of the opinion that a prima facie case has been made out of the telegram in question. Accordingly I refer the report of the Secretary raising the issue to the Committee on Privileges for examination investigation and Report
