The police can not cancel the FIR. They will file a report to the Magistrate. If the police file a negative report. Based on this the magistrate will order notice to the defacto complainant. The complainant can file a protest petition and conduct the case as a private complaint,.

Police can't deny from registering FIR if the order under 156(3) is "Register and investigate". In due course also police can't deny from registering FIR on the ground of jurisdiction, police must register FIR and must transfer to police station of proper jurisdiction.

I agree with View exressed by both experts. Police can submit its report whatsoever and the same may include the request for transfer of jurisdiction to appropriate police station.
