Refer Sec 173 and 468 of Cr P C.
it is duty of every I O to forward a charge sheet as soon as investigation is completed. the Magistrate will not take cognizance after expiry of period of limitation.
In ur case the punishment prescribed for the alleged offence is more than one year. Therefore the limitation is three years.
