A charge sheet is a formal document submitted by the police to a court after completing their investigation in a criminal case. It contains details of the offence, evidence collected, names of the accused, witness statements, and the sections of law under which charges are proposed.
Once a charge sheet is filed, the police investigation stage officially ends. The court then examines the document to decide whether there is sufficient material to proceed with the case. If the court finds the charge sheet valid, it takes cognisance of the offence and formally begins judicial proceedings.
After this, the accused is summoned to court. The court may consider matters such as bail, especially if the accused is in custody. The charge sheet is also supplied to the accused so they can understand the case against them and prepare their defence.
The next stage involves framing of charges. The court decides the exact charges based on the charge sheet and hears arguments from both sides. If charges are framed, the case moves to trial, where evidence is examined and witnesses are cross-examined.
Filing of a charge sheet does not mean the accused is guilty. It only indicates that the police believe there is enough evidence to proceed. The final decision is made by the court after a full trial.
