Dear Sir,
Kindly advice as to who should be the opposite party in as case where a vehicle has been stolen but the FIR is not being registered by police.
As far as i understand FIR would be filed against "unknown people".

F.I.R. is always for taking cognizance against commission of crime, not against any person. Mentioning the name of accused is just a formality. So FIR in question will be registered without the name of any accused person.

send a complaint regarding your case to concerned SSP and if the police is not going to registered your case within 7 days from that complaint then file a complaint before magistrate u/s 156(30 of Cr.p.C. for registering the FIR regarding your matter.
feel free to call
