Usually, the Police has to file a Chargesheet within 90 Days in case of the Offences which are punishable for more than 3 years and within 60 Days for the Offences which are punishable for less than 3 years. If the Investigation does not get completed within this prescribed time period, then, the Police can seek an extension.

The police may file chargesheet within 90 days from the date of arrest.
Have you given attendance before the police station when you secured your anticipatory bail.? Was your statement recorded by them.?
The High court will not quash the case since it is not prima facie false or not incriminating you. The court will also see the medical test of your spouse whether there was any fresh injury related to section 377.
So.. chances of Quashing in this particular section is nil until and unless chargesheet is filed.
