', Under Section 16(3) of the Government of Union Territories Act, the powers / /$rIYiieges and immunities of the Legislative Asmbly of Union territory and of the members of the Committees thereof shall be such as are for the time being enjbyed the House of the People and its members and committees. As stated in the Book of Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shakdher speaches and writings reflecting on the House or its Committees or members are punished by the House as a contempt on the principle that such acts tend to obstruct the- House in the performance of their functions by diminishing the respect due to them. However, it is also established that fair comment on Parliamentary Conduct of Members does not amount to a breach of privilege. But so far no guide-lines have been laid down as to what constitutes fair comment. Each case must stand upon its own facts and circumstances and if corruption is alleged or suggested or improper motives are attributed the House would clearly bet well within its rights, in dealing with the matter as a contempt. The impugned letter describes the speech of the member demanding enquiry into the death of Sidhartha as not at all civilised and noble. Further it appeals to the Goans not to encourage such mischivous tendencies thereby describing the speach as rnischivcuus. The letter morewer imputes malafides to the Hon. Member concerned in so far as it states that he is using Sidhartha's death for meeting one's political ends. The letter may thus transgress the Linlits of fair comment and may deter the member from discharging his duties. I am therefore of the opinion that a prim-facie case is made out by the lattez- in question. I therefore refer the matter to the Committee on Privileges, for examination, investigation and report. 7 111. Shri V. D. Chodankar, M. L.
