Simply meet his senior officer, if he has stated, ""pending approval from senior officer. we ll call u back," and ask him the reason for withholding approval.

File a petition in same Magistrate's court seeking status report.
The Police is bound to register the complaint as FIR within 24 hours once the intimation u/s 156(3) is served to Police.
Another option is to file writ petition in high court.
The high court is expected to come down very heavily for such inaction on the part of Police.
