Question

Police file a charge sheet in the court ____________.
A. If the police arrest a person
B. If a person is suspected of anything
C. If a person commits a crime
D. If the investigation proves the person is guilty

Answer 1

Hint: A charge sheet, as the name suggests, is a formal document that holds contents concerning the crimes committed by an individual. The word “charge” itself specifies what a person is being accused/ “charged” for.

Complete step by step answer:
The police file a charge sheet in the court if the investigation proves that the person is guilty. The charge sheet is a formal record that mentions the names of the person bright under history, the nature of accusations etc. It contains information like the statement of witnesses, the charges on the accused, the trial record etc. The Charge sheet is different from the FIR. After the charge sheet is filed in the court the proceedings against the accused begin the court. The charge sheet is to be filed within 60 days from the day of the arrest of the accused in the cases which are tried in lower courts and 90 days for the cases which are tried in the session courts.

Therefore, option D is the correct option.

Note: Under the Indian Constitution, the subject of “police” is governed by states. This means that all states have their own police forces. However, the Centre is also allowed to keep its own police forces so as to assist the states in times of need.
