When accused is incustody 90 days as pper section 167 Cr.p.c. 1974 and if not in custody no limit has been prscribed by law.

Only in case of custody of accused and that only puropose of bail, otherwise no limit u/s 468 cr.p.c.
If person is in custody 90 days only purpose of bail . If chage sheet is not filled in that period person in custody has right of bail, otherwise for offence punishable more than 3 years has no limit.
law says charge sheet should be file within 90 days, but is not mandatary.
Since the sections involved have imprisonment of 7 years , section 167[2][a][ ii], the investigation has to be completed for bail purposes within 60 days and not 90 days. I differ on this point with my learned friends
