Fresh petition u/s482 to quash fir

Dear Advocates,

My friend was falsely booked for a case of murder attempt. We have proper evidence for his innocence.
My friend filed a quash petition u/s 482 of the FIR through an advocate in the Madras High Court.

My friend's advocate failed to attend any hearing. But the respondent petitiioner and Govt. Attorney attended the final hearing.

Now the Highcourt vacated the stay and ordered the concerned Inspector of police to continue the investitgation and file the case before the judge and close the case within a period of 3 months.

Now six months have gone from the date of the High court order. But sofar no case is filed before the court by the concerned Inspector of Police.

Now my question is can my friend file a fresh case to quash the fir or can he file a revision petition?

Please advice.
