Courts of Law in Ceylon
I think (Should be) YouTube Guys and Girls could be persecuted if they propagate false information.
Please not this was a Futuristic Dream of mine and nobody should sue me with defamation.
The latest dream as far as I am concerned was futuristic.
Reasons I will give below.
It goes on like this.
We had a long drawn out industrial action.
This time students were on strike, just like in 1988 -1989.
I was getting bored and decided to quit the university for good, which I did. After 6 months of struggling, I managed to get part of the Provident Fund and I wanted to buy a car for my retirement, now that even walking a few paces was a struggle. Incidentally, for administrative reasons, part of the entitlement is frozen as intellectual assets. What often happens is that the salary is such low, all the individuals permanently employed take loans from the university against the Provident Fund as a surety.
Generally, the maximum loan amount is up to 75% of your Provident Fund balance, according to Commission Circular No: 433. The 75% limit is re-calculated to account for all the other loans you may have previously taken and you may be still repaying.
The bottom line is, the university authorities did not wish to part with the balance thinking, if I die before the release of the funds, it is gross University Saving.
They wished I would be dead by natural causes.
This is all about Government Duty Free Car allowed. I went with somebody which I cannot remember probably an in law to drive me home. We cleared everything and all of them got into the car and they left, leaving me behind with a heavy suitcase. I thought now that I had signed the papers, they went for a test drive. I could not leave my heavy luggage for safe keeping and after a few minutes of waiting, I decided to stroll down the alleyway. The luggage was so heavy and after a few minutes I sat down under a tree panting and cursing myself, had I some money, I would have hired a three wheeler to reach home.
Then after about half an hour they realized, I wasn't in and came in search of me. By that time I had gone bananas and with that commotion, I was woken up.
I must tell you why I was happy.
My present Provident Fund saving is not enough to buy even a three wheeler. I was visibly annoyed with myself for not waking up quickly lest, I had gone to Anuradhapura in a pilgrimage in this new car with total happiness, I would have attained Sovan Status when one gives up worldly belonging, which is a big bonus for my dependents. That is the long and short of my dream but I was intrigued by the heavy luggage.
I sent an email to Maha Brahama and this time there was a long silence before his chat appearance.
I wasn't least pleased with his attitude to my latest dream.
I asked him was he busy to which he gave a negative response.
Then again he was dragging his feet and asked me, how the industrial action was taking shape.
I told him we are having deliberations in the courts and I am not allowed to divulge anything, since the court determination was pending.
Then he summoned his courage and said that this dream is not futuristic and dull and no point of discussing or interpreting.
I felt something fishy and asked him, this dream is about me,
Isn't it?
He paused and said how did you guess?
Do you really need some interpretation?
Why not, we earthling are going from pillar to post looking for godforsaken astrologers who take us for a ride.
We love to hear of our future, even if it is our funeral and specially the things like salary increment we are going to get.
This one is little bad.
You mean to say we won't get any increment?
No fool it is your final farewell?
Farewell for leaving the University?
No fool your ultimate farewell from this planet.
Or I see!
You were waiting for the people to come and dump you and push the electric button and they were late and you were watching from above.
Heaven, I believe.
Can't tell you that now.
In that case can you tell me what was that heavy stuff in the suitcase.
That was your Kusal-Akusala Kamma Load.
Which is more?
Can't tell that, too.
Can you tell me at least the Ahosi Kammas.
You have finished all your Ahosi Kamma by blogging and all in the suitcase were viable Kammas.
That means no Sovan for me, isn't it?
Can't tell you that, too.
You must stop all blogging and stop doing any Kusala or Akulsala Kamma.
Why?
You are then in Kriya Mode and then only you get to dream good futuristic dreams, not events related to your mundane life.
Or I see.
Less Kusala and less Akusala in your suitcase and more I get to hear good futuristic dreams, from you.
For how long?
That is left to you.
In that case, I have to go on indefinite industrial action.
You won't have any problem with that since the case is in Sri-Lankan courts!
Happy dreaming.
See you soon.
AI Generated Information is below.
No, a mistake made in a court of law is generally not considered defamation. Statements made in court proceedings are protected by a legal doctrine known as absolute privilege, which prevents people from being sued for defamation for testimony or submissions made during a trial or tribunal.
Here is a breakdown of why this is the case:
Absolute Privilege:
The law protects free and open debate in judicial proceedings.
As long as the statement is made within the context of the court, you cannot be sued for defamation, even if the statement was false or made with malicious intent.
Purpose of Court:
The justice system is designed to handle disputed, false, or mistaken information through cross-examination, evidence, and questioning by judges, not by allowing witnesses to be sued for defamation every time they make a mistake.
What if it was a lie?
If a person deliberately lies in court, it is not considered defamation; it is perjury (a criminal offense), not a civil defamation claim.
Mistake vs. Malice:
An honest mistake in testimony is generally protected.
Even if the testimony is defamatory in nature, the occasion of a court hearing is privileged.
When is it Defamation?
Defamation occurs outside of the court process, such as publishing false information in the media, on social media, or to a third party to damage someone's reputation.
If a statement was made in court that you believe was false and caused harm, the proper remedy is to address it through the court process (e.g., cross-examination or presenting counter-evidence) or by reporting perjury, rather than filing a defamation lawsuit.
