Time frame for investigation by Police

In  a Complaint case sent to Police for investigation u/s 156(3),from the court,the police seems not acting ,the case is shelved by more than 6 months in court.I have written to SP ,but no response or results.Inspectorof police behaves rudely when asked either  in person or over telephone  .Opp parties seems to collude.Approacing court to call for status report and close the investigation ,did not put any results  .Court is also lithergic.What to do?I have got all the evidence to lead the case.

The case is a forgery of document case and evidence at hand is beyond any reasonable doubts that accused persons shall be convicted within 5 minutes and accused have hardly any answers.But no action by police or by lower court i.e SDJM.it is not understood.

Can I file the same complaint case before Chief Judicial Magistrate again?Or should I file writ for direction tolower court or police?it is not understood why inaction in a full proof case when evidence is enough!

Any media whether can be of any help?

Supreme court has stated that there can be no time limit fixed for investigation. I suggest you file a Writ Petition in the High Court seeking directions for expeditious disposal. at least in the High Court Police will have to come and state the stage of investigation and when they propose to file report u/s 173 Crpc.

here is no time frame as such provided in the Cr.P.C for completion of investigation which is to be completed as expeditiously as possible but the court cannot wait indefinitely for submiossion of final form.The Orissa High Court has held that here investigation is unduly delayed the court can proceed  to examione the Complainant an d thereafter take cognizance

please quote the Orissa High Court Judgment if it is of DB .

The police is sleeping over the file. The court is lethargic. Nothing happens after 6 months from a 156(30 order. Approach the HC to get relief.
