Procedure for filing the complaint if police refuses?

Suppose if I had given a criminal complaint against a person who is so rich. The Polce refuses to file the case as he is an influencial person.

At this instance is there any legal remedy?

if there is a legal remedy, what would be the procedure for the same?

If your complaint is refused at station level you can lodge your complaint with Superintendent of Police of your district or you can file a private complaint in the court (see chapter xv of Cr.p.c)

I have stopped going to police station for years. It is pure harrassment, waste of time and they twist the matter as they like because they handwrite in Marathi and not easily allow to read and will ask you to sign. I just type complaint on letterhead and send it thru a peon to the writer ( as they call it here in Mumbai). They will make him run about, ask him to get signature of a senior, say they r busy, on lunch etcc and avoid taking letter. He is trained to bear it all and trained to insist on sign and rubber stamp. 

After 15 days I file an RTI appliaction asking the action taken on my complaint . And thereafter they wake up. Legally unless urgent no need to go to police station or anywhere personally. Send a letter by hand delivery or registered post. In most cases online complaining is also allowed but in indian condition most often there site will not work.

Dear Tranquility and all respected advocates, please don't forget that we are Indians living in India. CrPC section 156(3) is also a wastage of energy and time because ultiimately it has to come back to police and if police submits FR (Final report) that he did not find any truth in the complain then you have no chance to do the needful.

Police rules the roost in India and influentials are always influentials, so please don't put yourself in another trouble. I dont suggest you to be coward but remember if somebody attempt to kill you then our honorable Supreme court suggests to run away like cowards because if you retaliate and kill him then you have to face the music under 302 IPC.

Have faith on the god but not on the Indian law because in India laws are made for the meek and submissive.
