As the complainant, you have the right to seek a fair and thorough investigation. If the charge sheet submitted is weak and key evidence has been overlooked, you can approach the Metropolitan Magistrate under Section 173(8) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) (or the new act if applicable) by filing an application requesting further investigation. In this application, you must specifically highlight the gaps in the charge sheet, the evidence that has been overlooked, and its importance to the case.
