the magistrate is not bound to accept the FR. In case of FR, the notice is to be issued to the complainant and the complainant may file its protest. In such case, the magistrate may order further investigation.

The Magistrate is entitled to take his own independent decision, including rejection of police report and summoning of the accused to face trial.
