    Dear Client, Yes, a protest petition can be filed by the accused even after a chargesheet has been filed but before the court has assigned a case number. The speed of the process can vary depending on the court’s workload and the specifics of the case. Generally, if the protest petition is well-founded and properly documented, it can be resolved relatively quickly. However, the exact timeline will depend on the court’s schedule and the complexity of the issues raised. The success of a protest petition largely depends on the grounds presented. If you can demonstrate that the chargesheet is defective, lacks evidence, or has other significant issues, there is a better chance of success. Strong legal arguments and supporting evidence will increase the likelihood of a favourable outcome. Consulting with a criminal lawyer who can help you draft and file the protest petition effectively will be beneficial. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
