. Upon considering the demurrer, the court must make an order
either overruling or sustaining it. If the demurrer to an indictment
or information is overruled, the court must permit the defendant, at
the defendant's election, to plead, which the defendant must do
forthwith, unless the court extends the time. If the demurrer is
sustained, the court must, if the defect can be remedied by
amendment, permit the indictment or information to be amended, either
forthwith or within such time, not exceeding 10 days, as it may fix,
or, if the defect or insufficiency therein cannot be remedied by
amendment, the court may direct the filing of a new information or
the submission of the case to the same or another grand jury. If the
demurrer to a complaint is sustained, the court must, if the defect
can be remedied, permit the filing of an amended complaint within
such time not exceeding 10 days as it may fix. The orders made under
this section shall be entered in the docket or minutes of the court.
