Yes, you can file an RTI application under §6(1) to the PIO of the police station, asking for the current status of the investigation. You can ask for the case diary and the progress of the trial.

The PIO might deny the information, citing §8(1)(h), but you can argue that the charge-sheet has been filed, and the information can't be denied under this clause. Refer to the Girish Deshpande 2013 case.
