Hi, For filling charge sheet in the above case there is no time limit as you are in the bail and the police can file a charge sheet in reasonable time.
Time limit for submission of police FR to court
An FIR had been registered against me on 28/02/16 U/S 14 of the child labour(prohibition and labour act 1986) in my local PS. I had taken bail from the police on 30/02/16. The IO did his investigation and has not filed a chargesheet but rather had prepared a FR for the case for submission to the court. However, before submitting the FR to the court the IO has to take the concurrance of the complainent, but the complainenet is not turning up in the PS till date. My question is (1) what is the time limit for submission of the FR by the IO to the court? (2) What will happen if the complainent does not turn up to take the notice from the IO? Can the FR still be submitted to the court? (3) What will happen if the FR is not submitted to court within 60 days? Do i have to apply for bail from court after 60 days of the FIR?

1. The time limit is 60 days.
2. If the complainant does not turn up then the FR can be presented as it is to the court.
3. You can seek court's directions to IO to file the report at the earliest if he does not file it on his own.
4. Bail has already been obtained by you, so it is not required to be obtained again on the presentation of report.
