Hi Sir / Mam, 

As per the answers given above.  I have a question , please sugguest.

My brothers wife kept false case (498 a and 307) on complete family and we got bail from High court. Its almost 10months completed and charge sheet is not prepared  because police poeple also know its false case 

What can myself and my family members can do to get out of this case ?  and what is the next step can i try to save my family from this false case.

Police people are not submitting charge sheet its over 10months completed. 

As per the comments above mentioned, could you please let me know , if it is only 3 months is the time limit for charge sheet , how can investigation officer can take 10months to submit charge sheet ? in my case ?

Please suggest.

If police are managing the court poeple ? how much time they can manage ? what can i do to save my family ?

Don't worry Sir, When Investigation Completed the Investigation Officer file Charge sheet . 

468 Cr.P.C.

The period of limitation shall be—

  1. six months, if the offence is punishable with fine only;
  2. one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year;
  3. three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years
