Sir,

Pls advise if the two options advised by you are different than sec 156(3) or the same.

U APPLY TO COURT,
JUDGE MAY ALLOW 156(3), RARE CHANCES,

OR GO AHEAD AS PVT COMPLAINT..

It is better to apply u/s 156(3) FIRST.

RAJESH CHOPRA (Querist) 15 January 2014
Dear Sir,

Since initial complaint was filed 9 months back. hope it's not late to file complaint under sec 156(3).

is there any time limit to file complaint.

Thanks

you can file complaint under 156(3) now since cops refuse to investigate

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 January 2014
Generally the EOW Police do not register a FIR on such cases so soon even after investigation because the related offence is being complained without a proof. However, if you are not satisfied with the investigation process by the Economic Offences Wing of Police, you may file a complaint before concerned jurisdictional Judicial magistrate u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C for the related offences quoting appropriate provisions of law.

Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 15 January 2014
Delay if any is not a constraint to file such petition u/s 156(30 CRPC.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 16 January 2014
opt for the first option.
