1. The provisions regarding committal of case are prescribed in Sec. 209 of Cr.P.C and Para 9 to 12 Chapter 3 of Criminal Manual. In all cases instituted on Police Report or whenever the accused appears or is brought before the Magistrate, and it appears to the Magistrate that the offence is triable exclusively by the Court of Sessions, he shall commit the case to the Court of Session, send to the Court the record of the case and notify to the Public Prosecutor of the commitment of case of the Court of Sessions under Section 209 of Cr.P.C. Section 210 Cr.P.C provides procedure to be followed when there is complaint case and police investigation in respect of the same offence and if Magistrate is satisfied that same are is respect of same offence he shall clubbed together both.


2. Request Public Prosecutor (PP) who is assigned by Government to handle your sister’s case can give you of certified charge sheet, victim and accused are entitled have copy of charge sheet before trial starts for free of cost.

Hi
Committing the case to trial will take atleast 3 to 6 months depending on the work load of the trial court.
The victim can apply for certified copies of the documents(FIR, Charge sheet ) by making an application to the trial court as these are public documents and are supplied free of cost to victim.

The Supreme Court ruled that a charge sheet, or final investigation report cannot be made public as they are not public documents and would violate the rights and freedoms of the victim and the accused.
