there is no illegality on the part of the police in filing the chargesheet. you can of course take this cotention in your quashing proceedings that the act of filing the chargesheet when mediation has already concluded was bad on the part of the police. the court might consider it.

No, it is not illegal. The police is supposed to carry on and finish investigation as per crpc until the fir is quashed. You'll only need to apprise the court that CS has been subsequently filed.

It'll be quashed irrespective of the chargesheet being filed. Now your final order will say FIR, CS and all pending proceedings arising therefrom are quashed even though you may have initially only filed for quashing of FIR
