In a recent case, Police have submitted a chargesheet on 31 March 2009. Now in Septemeber 2009, police is about to submit a chargesheet for more accused in the same case even after FR. (Before this the prosecution lawyer had applied a revision potition for cognizance of additional accused.) The accused have applied for anticipatory bail. hearing is going on. What would be the position of the PP, the Judge, the counsel of the defence and the prosecution. Which provision of the Cr.PC would help whom?
What is the likely decision in the bail?
What may be the bearing on the case and the other accused who were chargesheeted initially? Kindly elucidate. Regards

a second chargesheet under section 173(8)
Can a second chargesheet under section 173(8) make additional persons accused or the further investigation remains only in respect of the already chargesheeted accused whose cognizance has been taken by the court as per the first chargesheet?
Kindly throw light on it with citation of supreme court or high court if possible.
