Default discharge under section 167(5) cr.p.c

Based on source information, an F.I.R against the unknown person was registered under section 25(IB) r.w 35 Arms Act after the recovery of some arms and ammunition from the corridor of his premises when he was out of town. He was called by the police from another town and arrested in the said case through the FIR was against unknown. After the media trial and the hype in the local newspapers, the accused was granted bail. In West Bengal, as per the criminal amendment, in Arms Act cases within 2 years from the arrest of the accused person, the investigation must be completed. However, the investigation was not completed. He was also not discharged by default after the two years of his arrest and bail by the Magistrate. After about 3 years, the investigation officer submitted a prayer to the Magistrate to permit to continue the investigation and thereby enhanced the period of investigation, which the Magistrate did without informing the accused. After a week, the Investigating Officer submitted a charge sheet. The Charge Sheet has not been served upon the accused till now. I am not going into the merit of the case. Now should the accused file a default discharge application in the same court of Magistrate or should go before the District Judge challenging the illegality against the extension of the time for investigation and his non-discharge by default after completing the statutory period of 2 years from the date of his arrest? Kindly advise.

Evidence in 498a

Dear Most Respected Experts,

My wife had filed a maintenance petition u/s 125 CrPC in the year 2007, then we filed a joint memo and we lived together for some time. When quarrel picked up, she filed FIR in the year 2008 u/s 498A & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Then in the year 2009, she filed another maintenance case u/s 125 CrPC.

Now case u/s 498A is going on in court. Allegations mentioned in the maintenance petition in the year 2007 are totally contradicted with FIR filed u/s 498A in the year 2008. At the same time, allegations mentioned in 2009 are also totally contradicted with FIR filed u/s 498A.

I have taken a certified copy of the maintenance petitions (125 CrPC) of 2007 and of 2009.

My Questions:
==========
1) Will the court admit both the maintenance petition (2007 & 2009) as documentary evidence and the judgement will be passed on the contradictions?

Thanks in advance
Ram

Section 107 CrPC provides "When an Executive Magistrate receives information that any person is likely to commit a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquillity or to do any wrongful act that may probably occasion a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquillity and is of opinion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding, he may, in the manner hereinafter provided, require such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond, 1 with or without sureties,] for keeping the peace for such period, not exceeding one year, as the Magistrate thinks fit."

Suppose, the surety is to be taken for 8 months by the Court, the period of such 8 months will start from which date:

a) the date on which the accused is summoned to appear before the Court through Notice under Section 111 of CrPC
b) the date on which the accused first time appears in the Court
c) the date on which surety is accepted by the court
d) the date on which order is passed by the Court in this regard
e) any other such date as decided by the Court

Dear Sir,

iF YES UNDER WHICH ACT OR LAW.
2) And if No then please guide us to get him out of this anti corruption illegal case.

False 307 under crpc.

Respected Madam/Sir,
In my office premises one of the fellow employee sexually harassed one women employee during December 2018, she had filed the complaint at Personnel Office. As i am the personnel officer, I have received the complaint and forwarded to higher authorities. Whereas, he was asked me that not to forward the complaint to higher authorities. Since then the fellow employee developed grudge on me and always scolded me and my parents. On 18.02.2019 he provoked me and used filthy language. In the process I went towards him to ask him to stop abusing, he enraged and caught my neck, immediately i pushed him a side, unexpectedly he fell down on the window edge. His head got injured 3 stitches done by doctor. Now he filed private complaint through an advocate, stating that murder attempt made by me. The entire episode was recorded in the companies CC TV. Now police issued notice under 41A. Kindly suggest, how to come out from the situation.
