How to get chargesheet copy online in India?
04-Jul-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Sir, please advise me how to get chargesheet copy in the police station or court. Also, how to download chargesheet online?
Ask the police SHO/Investigating Officer in writing at the police station and/or file an application at the trial court registry for certified copies; if you are the accused (and the victim represented by an advocate) the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) requires the Magistrate to furnish free copies of the police report/chargesheet, FIR and witness'statements without delay and in no case beyond 14 days from your production or appearance (see BNSS s.230). [BNSS text PDF: https://www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2024-04/250884_2_english_01042024.pdf] Courts routinely supply certified copies on payment of prescribed fees or by online e'filing/eCourts access for parties/advocates (see eCourts portal: https://ecourts.gov.in). Supreme Court authority holds that chargesheets are not public documents to be placed on websites, so general public download access is not permitted; only parties/ their counsel or those authorised by court/IO can get them. See Saurav Das v. Union of India (SC) (chargesheet not public). [Saurav Das judgment: https://indiankanoon.org/doc/198007204/] For statutory context on offences and evidence consult the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA). [BNS PDF: https://www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2024-04/250883_english_01042024.pdf] [BSA PDF: https://www.mha.gov.in/sites/default/files/2024-04/250882_english_01042024_0.pdf] For a recent High Court discussion of BNSS s.230 and supply procedure see J. Dalvin Suresh v. CBI (Delhi HC). [Delhi HC: https://indiankanoon.org/doc/83408885/]
To download a chargesheet online, you typically visit the official website of the relevant court, police department, or the eCourts Services portal. You may need details like the FIR number or case information to search for the document.
Alternatively, the accused or their lawyer can request a certified copy of the chargesheet directly from the court where it was filed or from the investigating officer at the police station. Filing an RTI application at the District Police Headquarters is another way to obtain a copy.
