What is the actual status of your case? The usual procedure is the day the complaint u/s156(3) is filed the court passes the order after treating it a FIR and ask the concerned P.S to make the necessary investigation. It is unclear from your query as to why it is getting delayed inordinately. You better take help of another local lawyer.

Your question is not clear. Whether the matter pending in investigation stage, after registering the FIR? or FIR can not be registered yet? If the FIR is not registered despite the court's order, You can pray to court for contempt proceeding.

No the complaint has not been heard in the court yet .Eveytime I reach on the date , either the lawyer remains absent and the asst of the lawyer takes next date or the judge gives the next date without taking up the matter.I sometimes feel that an advocate standing outside the court can do such job with much lower fees . The lawyer says that he is helpless if the matter is not heard as it is a misc. complaint .

You persoanlly can make prayer before the concerned court to hear your matter as it has already been much delayed.
