As per the recent decision of a 5-Judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of Lalita Kumari v. Govt. of U.P., (2014) 2 SCC 1, it is mandatory for the SHO to register the FIR if the complaint given to him discloses commission of a cognizable offence. Therefore, by citing this judgment, in the first instance you can request the Superintendent of Police of the district to take disciplinary action against the SHO for failing to register the FIR. If need be, you may file an application for the Magistrate having jurisdiction over the area for directing the police to investigate under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C.
