Charge frame time limit

10 years! No judgement is required just file an application for discharge.

The matter is related to section 468 of CrPC which deals with the Bar to taking cognizence after lapse of the period of limitation.

The period of limitation shall be :-

a) Six months if the offense is punishable with fine only

b) One year if the offense is punishable wiht imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year

c) Three year if if the offense is punishable wiht imprisonment for a term exceeing one year but not exceeding three years

for the purpose of this section of limitation, in relation to offense which may be tried together, shall be determined with reference to the offense which is punishable with the more severe punishment or, as the case maybe, the most severe punishment.

In your case it be seen the punishment of the offense u/s 51 and 52 of the wild life protection.

 so kapoor ji it means that if the punisment is more than 3 years in the case there is no limitation on charge

i think friends that their is some confusion or i dont have cleared sorry for that the present position is that matter is in court the case diary has been put up privesely.but only the charges are not frame against accused by the court for almost 10 years time. than also we can put an application for dis charge. waiting for valuable views warm regards shariq
