Passive voice is all about the object of the verb (which receives the action) being the subject of the sentence. So the decision of whether to use passive or active voice should be determined by the main person or thing you’re talking about. Let’s look at the phrase listed in the question.

Active: Is he telling the truth?

Passive: Is the truth being told by him?

The passive voice in that example sounds a little odd because it seems like the issue is the person, and whether THAT PERSON is telling the truth. In the context of a police interrogation, the issue is whether that person is being truthful or lying. Active voice works great here. Passive, not so much.

But in another context… say… where the public don’t accept a truth (maybe because people don’t want to admit it, or whatever reason). In this context you could employ the passive voice:

Is the truth being told?

Here the passive works just fine because the sentence isn’t focused on the people who are telling (or failing to tell) the truth. Instead it’s focused on the truth itself, which is the object that receives the action of the verb (to tell).

So if we’re talking about the truth, then the passive works better than the active, but if we’re talking about the person speaking, then the active sounds better.

To sum up: “Is he telling the truth?” focuses on the credibility of the speaker, but “Is the truth being told” focuses on the truth itself, and whether it’s being told or not.
