The complainant can challenge the order to the higher court or file the complaint again under section 200 of crpc.

i agree with Mr. Barman, but it will be better to approach the HC first.

In my opinion also it is better to approach HC than challenging the CJM's order. Anyway it is better to mention the same in the HC's Petition.

when the alternative remedy is available there is no need to approach the High Court. The magistrate can take the cognizance under section 190 Cr.P.C.and follow the procedure as suggested by my learned colleauge Mr. Barman.

You have two options.. You may go to high court and can get direction on the police officer to file f.i.r and take to investigate that matter. Or you may file a private complaint under section 200 of cr.p.c against the police peoples. But second one is better choice. As an advocate i not satisfied with 156 (3) cr.p.c. Its a useless provision.
