Dear Expeerts,

police arrested some persons u/s. 467 & 420. one victim was not arrested and showed by the police as absconded. the said person filed an application for anticipatory bail before session court. the same was rejected by session court. he then moved before high court and high court considered his application and grant bail.

approx 7 to 8 months time has lapsed but no charge sheet filed.

what remedy available for this fellow.

is there any law i.e. law of limitation or other is applicable to this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

To expedite the filing of CS one can apply to the Magistrate for necessary direction upon the Police.

Though there is no time limit to file charge-sheet by prosecution agency but long delay in filing the challan definitely vitiates the right of the accused person to have speedy trial and decision so concerned court should be prayed to direct the IO to expedite the matter.
