if you file a case under the act, the magistrate has discretion either refer it to protection officer or try it as if it is an application under 125 Cr.P.C. If you are able to produce evidence he himself will try that without calling for a report. any clarification mail to [email protected]
It is better to draft the complaint through a lawyer and file with the Police. Later follow ups can be done for quicker action on the complaint.
Since you are engaging a lawyer for pursuing your remedy, you may better follow his advice.
