This query is : Resolved
My FIR was closed by Judicial Magistrate without hearing me. I challenged in High Court & the reopen was allowed by HC. But its almost 1 year, I presented the high court order with reinvestigation petition and 1 year no action taken.
Can I raise contempt of court to the Judicial Magistrate ?or On the JM to High Court?

There is no contempt. Of course, you can file a petition under Article 227 or bring the matters to the notice of the High Court/District Court on the administrative side.

Did you move protest petition before the JMFC before filing a writ /appeal before High Court ? Whether the "Protest Petition" was dismissed by JMFC ?
