BNSS · Section 352 · Chapter XXVI — GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO INQUIRIES AND TRIALS

Oral arguments and memorandum of arguments.

What this section does

Any party may address concise oral arguments after closing evidence and may submit a written memorandum of arguments, which forms part of the record. A copy of the memorandum must be simultaneously furnished to the opposite party. Adjournments for filing written arguments are not to be granted unless the Court records reasons in writing, and the Court may regulate oral arguments if they are not concise or relevant.

Why this matters

BNSS Section 352 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
