I need to file a private complaint case before Magistrate u/s 200 crpc against forgery (not 156(3) But I am unable to produce any witness at present. Is it mandatory for the complainant to bring 1 or 2 witness for examination to begin the criminal case.

It depends upon case to case whether an oral evidence is required or not. If your complaint is based upon documentary evidence then it is not necessary to have oral evidence otherwise it is desired.
