There is no time limit for filing charge sheet. That 90 days time is for those accused in custody who in absence of filing charge sheet within 90 may get bail as a matter of right.
If you want to expedite submitting the charge sheet, then you could ask for the direction of the Magistrate in that respect or file a Revision Petition in High Court.

I endorse the views of Adv. M. Bhadra.

1. I agree with the expert advise of Mr. M. Bhadra, Advocate.
2. However, it is not your case, why are you so curious? What does his (accused's) lawyer say? Are you cross-checking his lawyer's version and strategy?
3. No such appointment is there in government as "night watch woman", re-check/ consult a local lawyer.

Mr. Xavier,

If you don't mind, your story seems to be hypothetical, as in any Government organisation night duty is prohibited unless that department works day & night for 24 hours a day.

Secondly, you have not given any description about and the present status of the investigation of the case of sexual harassment.

Thirdly, your query was not clear whether you desired information about departmental charge sheet or charge sheet in the court case. No department launches any court case directly unless investigated by an internal committee appointed in sexual harassment cases.

That clearly shows that you were not aware of the the full facts of the case. So, if Dr. J.C. Vashisht has pointed out about your no relation with the case, he has done nothing wrong. Your remarks against the views of Dr. Vashishta were, thus, quite unwarranted.
