Trial is complete. Accused persons r acquitted.
trial court observes in its findings that investigating officer directly jumped to the conclusion that there are materials and submitted chargesheet.
The investigating officer in this case filed a chargesheet and thus committed the accused persons to stand a criminal trial contrary to law.
can the investigating officer be charged under s.219 and s.220 of the IPC for making a report "chargesheet" contrary to law and thus commitment to trial contrary to law.

May be, the observations of the Court requires deeper examination. However, the prosecution requires sanction u/S 197 CrPC. It is preferable to pursue a civil remedy.

Academic query.
"Trial is complete; accused persons are acquitted". In this scenario either the author has concealed some vital information or the Court has given "some" other verdict.
Presuming the court has observed something like the "IO concluded that there are materials and submitted charge sheet"(as stated by author) the accused could have been discharged, what was the point in proceeding further if the Court has such observation. What is the point when the court found that there is no substance or evidence in the case?
