Section 11

If any person giving evidence on any subject in open court in any judicial proceeding, whether civil or criminal, gives in the opinion of the court before which the judicial proceeding is held false evidence within the meaning of section 191 of the Penal Code [Cap. 224], the court, if the court is the High Court, the Court of Appeal or the Court of Criminal Appeal, may summarily commit the witness as for a contempt of the court to imprisonment for a term which may extend to 3 months, or may fine the witness in any sum not exceeding $200, or, if the court is a subordinate court, may fine the witness in any sum not exceeding $100.

A court subordinate to the High Court shall not summarily punish a witness under subsection (1) unless it has first brought to his notice the substance of the false evidence and called upon him to show cause why he should not be summarily punished for his contempt of the court in giving false evidence.
