Application u/s 156 (3) of CrPC

Dear Experts, Request for your advise on a situation. A lady filed a complaint for an offence committed against her which is punishable u/s 509 of IPC. The police did not register any case. The lady then moved to the court of Metropolitan Magistrate with an application u/s 156 (3). The magistrate issued directions to the concerned SHO to file status report. Now the investigation officer is asking the lady to give him a fresh statement about the offence. The lady denied for the same stating that she had already filed one complaint to police authorities and then to the ld. magistrate under CrPC. The IO then said that the application u/s 156 (3) is not to be considered now and the case will proceed on the basis of the fresh statement. Kindly advise what is the duty of the IO regarding status report sought by the ld. magistrate. Kindly also advise if the lady need to give fresh statement as asked by the IO. Thank you, Rahul Singhal
