Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

In 2006 i was booked under IPC 420 & 471 for having 2 PP. After i came out on bail the judge said me to come back when i receive summon from court. But till now no charge sheet has been filed from my PS. In this duration my lawyer passed away and i dont have any copy of case so with the help of his assistant i have applied for a copy from court but the reply is they have misplaced my file and still searching from the last 6 months.

Both of my PP are in court.

My Queries are :

1. Is there a time limit for IPC 420 & 471 to be solved in certain period?

2. Now its 4 years nothing happened so will my case get dismissed by any chance?

3. Please advise as i am facing lot of problems without any job here.

1. No time limit.

2. No.

3. Apply to the Trial Judge and thereafter District Judge and thereafter to High Court - By this process your case would be located for sure.
