This incident is of 2008.

how will you explain the delay that is there in lodging the FIR?

regards

1) court will direct police to investigate and submit report 

case of cheating is made out against the other partners 

Yes the complaint can be registered u/s 156(3) crpc .

Give the evidence you have especially forging of the signature of yours is a good ground to start a case of forgery.

The  file a suit for declaration that the dissolution is null and void and without any effect . Seek injunction on second firm on its carrying out similar trade.

dissolution deed must have been filed with registrar of Firms 

apply for and obtain certified copy 

Yes it will prima facie allowed as there is clear case of cheating and forgery. The court will grant you orders under 156(3) crpc in this matter.

Dear Client,

Still matter is delayed a lot. Sec 156(3) is resorted when police do not register compliant. You can file but than enclosed sufficient documents to disclose forging of signature.

1.complaint before court under section 156(3) Crpc.

2. The Court issue notice and demand status report that there is any case related to this matter in police station or not.

3. After getting status report and if police says that there is no FIR, then the court record the statement of the complainant witness on oath and after that if the court thinks that there is a prima facia case has been made out then direct the police to register a case and complete 

Cheating case u/s 420 468 can be file against other partners. 

you can make a complaint but what about delay?

started in 2002 and last known fact is of 2008 and now its 2019, 

dear pls don't take it otherwise,

providing fair legal advice is my values

no case made out since you clarify DELAY

though, you can take a chance, no loss...........

Complaint under section 156(3) is for seeking dirction to the concerned police to initiate proper legal action on the complaint pending before them and if necessary to register the FIR against the accused.

Have you already lodged a criminal complaint with the police in this regard?

If so, then you may proceed with the proposed petition before the judicial magistrate court.

This is a clear cut case of cheating and other related offences, which requires proper legal action.

If there was a complaint already made to the police and the same is still pending without any action on it then you may approach judicial magistrate court with the proposed petition, let the court decide about it.

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that third partner had been cheated all the time.
2. There is no law in criminal law that with the passage of time one can’t file the criminal case.
3. If you have given compliant to the police and didn’t receive the proper response from them then you have a good stand for filing 156 (3) before the concerned CMM.
4. Once you file it then you can show something with what you have now in the form of some proofs, which may not be available earlier.
