Section 91: Oath or Affirmation for Interpreters
Section 91 outlines the procedure for administering an oath or solemn affirmation to interpreters in a legal setting. Before an interpreter begins their role, they must take an oath or make a solemn affirmation in front of a Bench officer or Court officer. This is similar to the oath taken by a witness. The interpreter's oath is a promise to faithfully and accurately interpret and explain all questions and evidence presented by witnesses. Additionally, the interpreter vows to translate all documents given to them correctly and without error. The oath can be taken in the name of God or as a solemn affirmation, depending on the interpreter's preference or belief.
