In my game, the players need to enter a cave to talk with a imprisioned (and asleep) demigod to translate a book in a forgotten language. However, there is a giant on the way who says to your city (not evil) that talks to the demigod and receive advice to govern his people. Behold, the paladin (aware that this giant is evil and the city does not) talk do this evil giant, and with a sucessful diplomacy check request to pass without problems. The giant agree, but only if the paladin don't tell to the city that the demigod is asleep and is him lying to the city.
The paladin's code of conduct don't mention about overlook evil acts to achieve a greater good (since he cannot lie, even to his enemies).
So, I'm not sure if he should lose his powers or not. What do you think? I'm really inclined to make he lose their powers.
Bit harsh.
To keep his word the Paladin cannot volunteer the information to the city and should answer "I cannot answer that question" if asked about it. Paladins are not expected to destroy all evil, if they were how would evil be redeemed?

What god does the paladin worship? What is their code of conduct? (see the "Faiths of Purity" book to see examples)

This is exactly what I thought (and what the player tell me). I guess will agree with you both. Thanks.

We do not play in Golarion, and the paladin worship no deity. So, apply the standard code.
