Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Obliqua oratio, the manner of reporting a speech in which 'he,' not 'I,' stands for the speaker in giving his words; and hence the words 'you,' 'your,' never occur, and every sentence begins with the word that expressed or understood, but generally expressed in the first sentence only. It is opposed to the oratio directa, sometimes called a speech in the first person, in which the very words of the speaker are given
