    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment for three good reasons. First, put yourself in a situation where somebody is in remand, or prison, and when you say the accused person will have to pay costs, where will that person in remand have earned money to pay costs? Secondly, in our Constitution, it is a requirement that an accused person must get a fair trial. I am foreseeing a case where somebody will not get a fair trial; if his or her witnesses are not ready and he does not have the money he or she will be forced not to ask for an adjournment. So, this is punitive to the accused, and it is our duty, as a House, to protect the accused persons."
