428 votes

After a chargesheet is filed in a Section 498A, IPC case in India, the accused person is required to attend court proceedings as per the direction of the court. The number of times the accused is required to attend the court can vary depending on the nature of the case, the complexity of the proceedings, and the discretion of the court.

In general, after the filing of a chargesheet, the court may issue summons to the accused person to appear before it for the first hearing. The accused is required to attend the hearing and respond to the charges against them. The court may then fix the next date for the hearing, and the accused will be required to attend the court on that date as well.
 
In some cases, the court may also grant bail to the accused, which allows them to be released from custody until the trial is completed. If the accused is granted bail, they may be required to attend the court on certain dates for the trial proceedings.

The exact number of times the accused is required to attend the court will depend on the specific details of the case and the discretion of the court. It is important for the accused to attend all court hearings as directed by the court, failing which the court may issue warrants against them or take other legal action.

After the charge sheet is filed, the Court will issue summons to all accused parties. Upon receiving these summons, the accused must attend all subsequent hearings until the judgment is delivered. Failure to appear may result in the Court issuing a warrant against the accused. Additionally, you may file an application to cancel their bail for non-compliance with the bail order. If your husband and his family are absent for the hearing because of a valid reason, their advocate can file an application with the reason for the absence. 

The chargesheet is sent atleast once a month, therefore they are required to attend the hearings. The total number of times they are required to attend the hearing depends on the complexity of your case and can vary.  It’s also important to note that 498a chargesheet time limit is 60-90 days and the charge sheet should be filed before that time.

Dear Client, the charge sheet must be filed within 60/90/120 calendar days. The charge sheet must be filed within 60-90 calendar days, since the punishment under 498A lasts for three years.
