How can I legally recover my money?

I lost 10 lakhs in a cyber-fraud and received a court order from the Mysore District Additional Civil Judge to recover 5.80 lakhs from the culprit's account to my bank account. However, the police informed me that the amount was released to another party. The remaining 5 lakhs, the police have not provided any updates on.

In your case, immediately file a contempt of court petition under Section 10 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, against the police or any party responsible for non-compliance with the court's order. Along with the same, file a representation to the Mysore District Additional Civil Judge for informing the court that an amount of ₹5.80 lakhs was wrongfully released and sought orders directing the police to recover the same and transfer it to the court as per the order passed. For the balance of ₹5 lakhs, the petitioner should file an application under Section 91 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 seeking updates on the investigation and the status of recovery from the police.

In your case, it is very important to lodge a case in court immediately. Since you got a court order to recover 5.80 lakhs, you should prepare a contempt of court application against the police for having failed to comply with this court order in releasing that amount of money. Request the police for a status update on the remaining 5 lakhs and also contemplate filing a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal for further assistance. You can also seek advice from a lawyer specializing in cyber fraud to discuss other options of recovery and how to enforce your rights effectively.
