In your case the limitation is not applicable. You first lodge a complaint in SP Office if the local police is not registering your complaint or send by post and then initiate a proceeding either u/s 156(3) of CrPC or u/s200 of CrPC before the Magistrate having jurisdiction.Attach the copy of complaint and medical reports with the petition.
