The police have filed a chargesheet after 'some' investigation on papers-only in the court way back in March; and I got to know about it only now, from other channels. But I've not yet received any communication either from the police or the court regarding the same, even after 3 months.
Is that normal? Doesn't the court or the police send a copy of the chargesheet to the accused and call him?
What should I do in such a case? I live in a different state than the one where all this drama is happening.
Is their any grounds that I can counter-claim this negligence of the police & court?
Another question is, as its a fact that my father-in-law has half the court in his pocket, is it a possibility that he's influenced the clerks to suppress the summons from reaching me? What benefit could he derive by doing so? Is it going to harm me or the false case in any way, in future?
It is question of fairness to questian the accused before finalysing the investigation. Absence of questioning is an irregularity and will defenetly points at unfair investigation. That will be in favour of the accused in a fair trail. When accused came to know about the charge sheeting he/she must appear before the court through a competent counsel apply for bail and get the copies of the charge etc There is no provision in the Criminal Procedure Code to send the copies of charge etc to the accused in general.
