Re: criminal law

Case Laws are contrary to what you need.

Public Prosecutor does not represent a person, but the State.

Original Complainant can engage a private lawyer, who can assist the public prosecutor in some cases and can conduct the case on behalf of original complainant in some cases. There are express provisions in Cr.P.C. to this effect.
