1. Police is empowered to deliberate IPC sections, while registering or after registering FIR, which depends on their perceptions of the offences.
2. Complainant is always free to file "protest petition" against the above, which will be considered after due arguments /justifications, at the discretion of the Trial court, who would direct the Police to add /remove IPC sections.

Registration of FIR and filing "protest petition" are two different situations in a criminal complaint case as later is after investigation when police could not find any cognizable offence of FIR.
What is the actual question and your complaint / locus standi / concern?

If police despite of having the facts to implicate the accused under a particular section, do not impose such charge, the complainant has every right to argue on this point at the time of framing of the charge before the trial court.

I agree with the opinions of all the experts above.
The defacto complainant can file a protest petition protesting the improper action taken by police against his complaint and can seek for re-investigation under section 173(8) cr.p.c. and seek to include proper provisions of law for the reported crimes in the complaint.
