Have a word with the ahlamad of the court concerned. He will get you a copy. You will need to inform the ahlamad of your situation. Usually they do help you. But the copy given will not be a certified copy, however you may use it. Also you can engage a new lawyer he will get it for you. Should you want to apply for a fresh copy, ask your lawyer to apply for a certified copy. You will be provided one. It may take some time though, maybe two weeks

Sir/ Ma’am, neither your lawyer nor you have any bar in collecting the copies of the Charge Sheet. You can collect any number of certified copies of any court record related to your case. You need not file an application for collecting the same from the Court. You can directly approach the Ahlmad i.e. the one who maintains all the court record, you wil need to fill a form for applying for certified copy of the CS, pay the requisite fee and accordingly the same would be provided to you by the Ahlmad. However, you may not get the same on the same day and the Ahlmad may ask you to come after two days as they search for the file, they photocopy it and then they send it to the converned person.
If you are not personally available to apply for the same, then you will have to hire a lawyer so that he can file a form for certified copy of the CS.

You must stay in contact with the investigating officer. He will tell you when he files the charge sheet. Download the e-court app. When a chargesheet is filed, the information will be uploaded to the app.
