Hello, Whenever you submit a written complain the police are supposed to give you a receiving copy and if they refuse politely insist on at least a receiving stamp on your copy. 2) Send a written complaint to the superintendent of police or the commissioner of police of your district through a registered post on an AD in that you will get a postal receipt and also an acknowledgement keep the receipt as a proof. They are legally bound to look into it under section 154 part three CRPC the copies of a written complaint the postal receipt, and the acknowledgement will be your evidence

If police deny registering FIR then you can approch superintendent of police ( SP office) or sent it by post to sp office. Even after this police did not take action then you can approch magistrate through private complaint.

After carefully considering your concern, I advise you as follows: Since you have already submitted a written complaint at the Police Station and no action has been initiated, the officer in charge is clearly failing in his duty under Section 154 CrPC, which mandates immediate registration of FIR in cases involving cognizable offences. Your first recourse is to approach the Superintendent of Police/Deputy Commissioner of Police under Section 154(3) CrPC. A copy of your complaint, along with proof of earlier submission, should be forwarded to them by hand or through registered post. This will ensure there is an official record of your effort. If, even thereafter, the police do not act, the proper legal remedy is to file an application under Section 156(3) CrPC before the jurisdictional Magistrate. The Magistrate is empowered to direct the police to register the FIR and investigate the case. Alternatively, a private complaint under Section 200 CrPC can also be filed. Please note that courts have repeatedly held that refusal to register FIR is not permissible where a cognizable offence is disclosed. Therefore, you have strong grounds to proceed further. I recommend preparing your documents carefully so that no technical objection arises.
