Charge sheet 60 days / 90 days

Apart from what MR Ramachary has mentioned, The sections incorporated are non bailable and cognizable. Was a formal bail application moved?

Dear Sir, 

Bail application rejected at Magistrate and Session court also.

As per section 167 of CRPC Act, 90 days is applicable in case of Death, LIfe imprisonment and imprisonment not less than 10 years. Otherwise it is 60 days in all other cases.

In our case, Section 420 prescribe 7 years, section 406 prescribe 3 years. I am confuse about 120B.

Section 3,4, and 5 of Prize chit and Banning act prescribe 3 years.

So it should be 60 days and not 90 days. Pls suggest

1[120B. Punishment of criminal conspiracy.—

Dear Sir,

Text of 120B i am also having.

Still  my query is open and pls let me know whether charge sheet to be filed in 60 days or 90 days in this case.

Chargesheet to be filed by the police, is purely their discretion. 60/90 days is not mandatory. 

They can keep prolonging that the investigation is not yet over.There is a statutary provision in CrPC that if the I/O is delaying the chargesheet intentionally, then after the prescribed time he has to make a diary entry at his police station mentioning what he did on every day for that case. Also he has to make a report and submit before the magistrate regarding the progress of the case.

IF 60/90 days are not mandatory then what is the relevance of section 167 of CRPC. Section 167 clearly states 90 days and 60 days.

My dear Sachin Jain,

You are absolutely correct.  Section 167 talks about statutory bail, which is available to the accused in the case when I.O. failed to file charge sheet within the mandatory period of 60/90 days, whatever the case may be.  Dear Sh. Jai Karan Nagwan has dropped a valid advice that the counting of days start from the date of FIR.  Police remand will be counted, because they take the accused in the custody after lodging the FIR.  Next, in the case under consideratin, keeping in view of the Sections charged, it is 60 days.  But, there are instances in our legal history, in respect of S.167 bail applications, even hours count.  I have seen cases that on 90th day morning (in murder case), the counsel for accused filed the bail application and the judge kept it pending till noon and after lunch, the I.O. hurriedly filed charge sheet with the sole intention of getting the bail denied.  Any how, in your case, I further add that the day on which FIR is registered has to be excluded and the 60th day has to be included for counting the 60 days on the basis of the provisions of General Clauses Act and provisions of Limitation Act.  Best wishes.

Thanks a lot for your valuable input.

If the IO is delayed in filing the charge sheet the benifit of delayed in filing may taken out for the ground to plead non guilty.
