A false complaint of criminal trespass and threat with weapon filed with police who visited the alleged place of offence, did panchnama and made a station diary, which indicate of no any such alleged offence having happened and the complaint being a false alarm.
Further, the same false complaint was privately filed with the Magistrate, who, without any preliminary inquiry therein and under the color of discretionary powers, arbitrarily directed investigation u/s 156(3) of Cr.P.C. against the persons indicated as accused in the said complaint. Consequentially, FIR was registered.
With the merit in the case, the Accused preferred a Criminal Writ Petition in High Court for quashing of FIR, by producing all the aforesaid supporting very strong statutory documents. But, unfortunately, High Court dismissed the petition saying that there is no harm in police investigating the matter and filing a Report to Magistrate.
However, the Police can now not at all alter their own said panchnama and station diary, which clearly upheld the accused's side.
What may happen next?

My friend has a ration shop in building. It is a co-operative housing society at Worli, Mumbai. My friend is not member of the said Society. My friend already had his shop in the old structure over a land and on redevelopment of the said structure by a private Developer, he was allotted shop in lieu of shop by that Developer.
There were some property tax arrears payable by my friend towards Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. He paid 50% directly to MCGM.
The said Society asked him to pay the rest 50% amount thru it and in lieu of which, it offered to my friend to offer its membership.
Accordingly, in trust, my friend paid that 50% amount to the said Society to pay to MCGM on account of balance revenue arrears for his shop and took the receipt thereof from it, but the Society neither paid the said amount to MCGM nor it adopted him as its Member, as promised.
The said Society also separately owed about Rs.12 lacs on account of property tax arrears towards MCGM, which the said Society not having paid, MCGM served a Notice of Attachment to it. My friend has no relation whatsoever with the said issue, as he is not the member of the said Society at all.
Just to kill the time, the said Society filed a Civil Writ Petition in Hon'ble Bombay High Court against MCGM, wherein Hon'ble High Court passed interim order directing the said Society to deposit Rs.5 lacs, which the said Society deposited.
But, in the said Writ Petition, the Society unnecessarily made my friend as one of the Respondents, for the unknown reasons. My friend filed an Affidavit in Hon'ble High Court disclosing the aforesaid real facts.
The matter is on and is of civil nature.
Now, my friend, on knowledge of having been cheated by the Society, filed a detailed criminal complaint with Worli Police Station, Mumbai along with all the documents. Police called the Society office bearers but did not take any action in the said matter nor registered any cognizable offence in his said complaint nor tendered any reply to him, orally forwarding an excuse of the matter having been pending in Hon'ble Bombay High Court.
According to me, the said pending matter in Hon'ble Bombay High Court is of civil nature while on the other hand, the said complaint by my friend to Worli Police Station is purely of criminal nature, with accusations of willful cheating, criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of funds.
My friend also wrote to Ld Commissioner of Police, Mumbai to direct Worli Police Station u/s 154(3) of Cr.P.C. to register a cognizable offence in his criminal complaint to Worli Police Station. But, there is no reply from the Ld Police Commissioner either.
Who's viewpoint is right? mine or police's?
If I am right, then, in the said circumstances, my friend will have to file a private complaint with the Hon'ble Metropolitan Magistrate to seek his directions u/s 156(3) of Cr.P.C. or u/s 202 of Cr.P.C.
Kindly, guide.

Party A leased a plot of land to Party B for 999 years at Bandra in Mumbai Suburban District.
Party B constructed a dwelling unit over the said leasehold land.
After demise of Party B, the younger son of Party B sold-off his alleged 50% rights to some Builder for a consideration.
There is no any partition deed in respect of that dwelling unit.
Now that Builder has captured 50% of the said property based on the deed with the younger son of the deceased lessee.
Is this authentic? Can there be partition of a property built on a lease-hold land?
If yes, what is the lawful procedure that should be adopted for such partition?
