Hello Experts,

I have a query regarding summons for 498A cases. Who issues summons to accuse in case of 498A after chargesheet has been filed ? Is it Investigating officer (police) or court personnel ?

Generally how long does it take to get summons after chargesheet has been filed ..Its been 2 months since chargesheet is filed and we have not received any summons yet.

Thank you.

Regards

A1(498A)
P.S. My intention is to start trial of the case as soon as possible.

Then it is better to appoint an advocate and find out the details of the case from the court.
Sometimes, the summons sent by the court are returned unserved for different reasons. Thus, it is advisable to do the needful without wasting time.

Court issues summons to the accused for their presence.

As advised, now the next steps would be to argue during framing of charges followed by evidence.

Better appoint an effective lawyer.
