I'm facing issues with the Pune Municipal Corporation and the Irrigation Department, and I want to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High Court. Do I need to send a notice two months in advance? Can I simply submit a letter to the Chie

In India, criminal cases are generally prosecuted by the state, not the individual complainant. Though the e-courts website might show “Mr. X versus you”, the actual case is “State of Karnataka versus you”. The delay in filing the charge sheet might be due to various factors, including the complexity of the investigation and the court’s workload. While an out-of-court settlement is possible, it is best to consult a lawyer to explore options and navigate the legal process effectively. Directly reaching out to Mr. X might not be the best approach as it could be seen as an attempt to influence the case.
