Re: 498a query
Approach in person to SP. If SP is not able to assist you then approach a competent court for the same. I beleive to do all the above you should appoint a local lawyer.
Re: 498a query
(1) You may send a written complaint to the SP.
(2) If a personal visit to SP office is present, you may seek a meeting with the SP and explain him your case;
(3) The State Women Commission may also be approached simultaneously as an additional measure;
You may also approach the High Court of your State for appropriate directions to the police u/s 482 Cr. P. C.
It may be better to engage a local lawyer who may be dealing with the local police on regular basis. If you may seek support of your local police, that may be more helpful instead of any confrontation.
Re: 498a query
If police is not investigating an offence registered with them, then first one need to approach the superior police like S.P. and thereafter the High Court.
Re: 498a query
Yes you can approach SP with copy to CP thru written complaint.
