Whether FIR has been registered or not ? If yes, seek status report through the Trial Court.

If you have resources go for a private criminal complaint against the accused. Send a registered post the grievance to Supdt of police, wait for a month, seek action taken on such grievance through RTI, and then contact an advocate for exploring the ways to get relief by filing writ mandamus. In all such cases, generally, the police have their own reasons to delay simple issues and they simply close the issue as a false complaint, and then after receiving such closure report, you have to once again make multiple visits to court hall for decades.

@ Kevin M Paul: Sir, is there any precedents that NHRC entertained in action against police for Criminal tress passing, cheating, and forgery, as I know instances of AP HRC rejecting the complaints stating that no human rights violation is involved and asked the complainant to explore other avenues.

Very rightly said Sir and I totally agree with the same. But here in this case, I've asked the aggrieved party to approach the HRC with a complaint of harassment that he's suffering due to the late back and negligent attitude of the IO and not for any sort of human right violation. This is because an individual can approach the HRC for any harassment he/she suffers due any government official.
For instance, in one such case HRC entertained the matter where people complaint against police harassment. The particulars are "Harassment and Torture of Jagannath Shaw by the RPF Staff (West Bengal) [Case No118/25/2002-2003]
However, there won't be a need to reach out to the HRC if the complainant/aggrieved party acts in the manner illustrated above. Once, an individual appears before a Magistrate stating the incompetent activities of a police officer the Magistrate takes the cognizance of the matter in his control and orders the higher officials to get the particulars complete. Thus, if the complainant in this case approaches the Magistrate for assistance the matter will come to an end because then the Higher Police officials as well as the Magistrate will compel the IO to submit the report within a week.
So, most probably the querist will have to approach the HRC regarding the matter, as it will be dealt by Magistrate, but there is a need to give the complete information along with alternative approaches that can be taken in case it's required.
Thanks & Regards
