Dear Mr. Deepinder,
The charge sheet according to the criminal procedure code is usually filed with in 90 days from the date offiling of the First Informatyion report but the prosecution/police usually in many cases causes inordinate delay and takes it's own sweet time. So you may wait till the charge sheet is filed and once it is files you will be issued summons to come and be present on such an such date and incase you fail to attend then the warrant will be issued.
You may also file a petition before the court seeking exemption of your attendance, incase the court dismisses your petition your lawyer can always file petition under section 317 of the criminal procedure court which the courts will normally consider.
The right time for filing a quash petition is after the charge sheet is being filed.
