The case of the prosecution is that on 02.08.2021 at about 8.30 p.m, due to previous enmity, between the petitioner and the defacto complainant’s family, during the course of a quarrel, the petitioner abused and assaulted him with hands, thereby causing injuries. Hence, the case has been registered. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner sought discharge based on the delay in filing the charge sheet by referring to limitation under Section 468(2) of Cr.P.C. 4. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that the punishment prescribed for Section 506(ii) IPC is seven years and, therefore, Section 468(2) Cr.P.C. is not applicable to the present case. He further submitted that the charge sheet would be filed within a reasonable time. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made on either side. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL RC No. 879 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 6.
