Yes your lawyer is practically right on his part. I will give you a suggestion and kindly cross check with your lawyer too. Submit a additional petition in the previous trial court i.e. judicial magistrate court that a 'further investigation' is reQuired u/s 173(8) of Crpc and hence kindly reinvestigate in this matter. As far as adj is concerned, new facts won't be entertained in adj court.
