Application cannot be dismissed on the reason that it is not supported by an affidavit. File criminal revision against the order.

For an application seeking seeking direction to police, need not have affidavit.
The dismissal of the magistrate is illegal. You can prefer Revision.

Dismissal will not be a bar to file it again. better send a complaint to registered post to Superintendent and get direction to register the FIR under 482 of Cr.P.C. at Highcourt/

Your application u/sec.156(3) Cr.P.C. may be rejected if there is no material ground to treat your application as an FIR,but it is not required supported by an affidavit.You may approach to the same Court to switch over your application as a complain case u/sec.200 Cr.P.C.,merit u/sec.482 Cr.P.C. is rare cases in High Court.

Dear Experts, I know that the order of the magistrate is illegal and going for the revision of the same .Lots of holdings of hon.supreme court and high courts I have regarding that if there is any cognizable offance in any civil matter,then the magistrate need ti take cognizance on the application u/s 156(3)cr.p.c. but I am not getting any particular finding that affidavit is not mandatory with the application of 156(3)cr.p.c. Please provide me some findings regarding affidavit . Thanks .

The order of the magistrate to police u/s 156(3)is only an administrative power.
Only for passing any judicial order the magistrate may need affidavit.
So, the order of the magistrate demanding affidavit is illegal.
