Can police delay filing chargesheet?
The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1973 does not prescribe a time limit for the completion of the investigation of a crime and the filing of judicial charges, except in cases of rape. The section 173(1) of the Cr. PC states that all investigations must be completed as quickly as possible. 24-Mar-2022
What happens to the case if chargesheet is not filed?
In accordance with section 167, the Criminal Procedure Code, an accused is entitled to default bail in the event that the investigating agency does not file a charge within 60 days of the date of remand. The stipulated period may be extended to 90 days for certain categories of crimes. 26-Apr-2023
Can chargesheet be filed after 2 years?
If the chargesheet is not filed within the prescribed 60-90 day period, then the arrest was illegal and the accused would be entitled to bail. 23-Jan-2023
What is the maximum time limit for filing chargesheets?
According to the proposed law, the chargesheets must be filed in 90 days. Any extension, up to 90 additional days, may only be granted by the court. The judge has 30 days after the conclusion of the arguments to render his decision. 12-Aug-2023
Please share more details. We can file a Writ Petition seeking directions to the department for speedy process. However this on the basis of the information available at the moment.
We will have to check the Court record as to what is the status of the matter.
