KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Indictment
An indictment is a formal written accusation charging a defendant with one or more indictable offences. It sets out the nature of the offence and the factual particulars supporting the charge.
Each offence is presented as a separate count, allowing clarity and precision in criminal trials. Proper drafting of indictments is essential to ensure fairness and procedural validity.
