Dear querist,
Complainant may file two cases for cheque bouncing as per facts of the case. So he can appear for 138 case and also for 420 case.

Yes. A person need not to engage a lawyer if he deems himself competent to persue his own case.

If the complainant is able to proceed as per procedure, there is no need to engage a lawyer.
However, in the benefit and interest of complainant it is better to seek professional services of local lawyer and one should minimize / avoid proceeding as Party-in-person.
