Section 314 of CrPC : Section 314: Oral arguments and memorandum of arguments.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: Rajesh is accused of theft and is undergoing trial in a criminal court. After presenting his evidence, Rajesh's lawyer, Mr. Sharma, wants to make sure the court understands their key arguments.

Application of Section 314:

1. Oral Arguments: After presenting all evidence, Mr. Sharma addresses the court with concise oral arguments, summarizing why Rajesh should be acquitted based on the evidence presented.
2. Memorandum of Arguments: Before concluding his oral arguments, Mr. Sharma submits a written memorandum to the court. This document clearly outlines the key points of their defense under distinct headings, such as "Lack of Evidence," "Alibi," and "Character Witnesses."
3. Copy to Opposite Party: Mr. Sharma simultaneously provides a copy of this memorandum to the prosecutor, ensuring they are aware of the defense's arguments.
4. No Adjournment: The court does not grant any adjournment for filing the written arguments since Mr. Sharma has already submitted them on time.
5. Regulation of Arguments: If Mr. Sharma's oral arguments were too lengthy or irrelevant, the judge could have intervened to ensure they remained concise and pertinent to the case.

Example 2:

Scenario: Priya is facing charges of fraud. Her lawyer, Ms. Kapoor, has just finished presenting all the evidence in her defense.
