the accused may move an application before the magistrate for non compliance of statutory provision and in case the magistrate refuse, the accused may approach the high court for discharge.
The Magistrate has a duty to supply copy of charge sheet and cannot frame charges unless copies have been supplied. You may better peruse all the zimni orders to examine if supply of copies has been recorded in one of the orders.
