Sir, there is no limitation as such for submission of charge sheet by the police. However, if the police does not submit chargesheet within two years, you can go for quashing. However, there is way out for avoiding chargesheet which I cannot write here in details. You may contact us for further details
Charge Sheet is filed when investigation is over. If you feel the police in unnecessarily dragging the time and not filing the charge sheet in time then you can approach the same Magistrate before whom you made a private complaint. or file two RTIs.
One in Police Department to ask about the max. time in which such cases should be closed and charge sheet filed. Also ask why is the I/O not filing the charge sheet or what is the hurdle.
Second in the court asking the procedure to be followed by the police officer if there is a delay beyond the statutary limit in filing the charge sheet. Also ask what has the I/O done after the time exceeded.There is a statutary provision in CrPC that is the I/O is delaying the charge sheet, then after the prescribed time he has to make a diary entry at his police station mentioning what he did on every day for that case. Also he has to make a report and submit before the magistrate regarding the progress of the case.

Hi. Did you get anticipatory bail from Dist. & Sessions Judges or Bail from Chief Judicial Magistrate after arrest? After got the Anticipatory bail or bail the trial process will start. In the course of evidence the I/o will file CS. If you hire a Lawyer in ur Court thenot your lawyer will contact with I/o for the matter you want relief for.
