There can not be police complaint for offence U/s.500, which is required to be filed in Court directly.

an F.I.R should be filed within reasonable time. however the term 'reasonable time' has not been defined in law. But the delay in filing an F.I.R has to be explained with strong reasons otherwise the complaint may be dismissed

The closing of case in office has no relevancy for your criminal prosecution. thee is no illegality involved.
