Quick Summary

If the police haven't taken action on your complaint regarding an abducted minor after a month, you have legal recourse. You can file a petition under section 156(3) of the CrPC with the judicial magistrate court. This can direct the police to initiate legal action and register an FIR if necessary. Consider also approaching higher police authorities, such as the Superintendent of Police.
