Which remedy should i choose 156(3) or 202

It is better to move u/s 200 . If the magistrate wishes to use his power u/s 156(3) before taking cognizance let him do so.  Civil remedy is also open to you for restoration of possession 

Surin

Proceed in 156(3) if he had dispose off your property some where... else 200 crpc

Thank you experts, regarding s.200 does cognizance taken by the magistrate make the proceedings lengthy? because reason behind asking this query is that, I thought investigation under s.156(3) is more easier and faster than under s.202, but I have no practical knowledge of the criminal court proceedings.

regarding s.6 of specific relief act I was dispossessed after expiration of rental agreement.

Please understand Sec 156 (3) is regarding power of the Magistrate to direct inquiry into an offence . You make a complaint to magistrate  under sec 190 of Cr.P.C. . Magistrate will examine you u/s 200 and decide whether there is substance in the complaint or not.  Then he may make orders u/s 202 . When you make a complaint u/s 190 Magistrate may direct the police to investigate u/s 156(3) .

Regarding time and length of the procedure please note it is always a product of your and your lawyers efficiency and determination. Many times clients are unsure whether they want to set the criminal law in motion , they drag their feet and fall prey to advise given by many people (friend and relatives) . Many times, this is the reason cases drag on. 

Be clear in you mind and issue clear instructions to your lawyer - This usually works. 

Regards and good luck
