There should be no hurry for you to expedite filing of charge sheet.

delay does not mean that charge is dropped.

however, you should wait. no action is required by you at this stage.

Re: delay in chargesheet filing

Police would take there own time to file the chargesheet. the limit of 90 days is only if the accused is in jail and confined. If no chargsheet is filed in such event then the accused is entitled to be released on bail.after chargesheet is filed u will have to contest the matter on merits.
