It depends on how did you file your complaint. I mean to say if you filed your complaint through police station then you should contact the authorities of the concerned police station and if you have filed complaint directly to magistrate u/s 190 than the advocate who helped you in filing the complaint will be in the position to give u the details of the case. Further you will have to hire services of an advocate who will guide u through the process.

The case u have filed is a private case I presume
Ur case contains offences which are punishable with imprisonment of more than 2 years, that makes it warrant triable.
Ur case would be named as case number/SW/year.
Since it's a private case your advocate needs to take proper steps at each and every stage of the case
Such as production under section 91 crpc
And file documents as per high court criminal manual chapter vi para 32, section 294 Crpc
And various other things
As courts go nowadays they always give state cases priority over private cases.
And because of that, time cannot be said or guaranteed.
Take care have a good day
