Yes, his successor becomes the complainant.

A public servant is never a complainanat in individual capacity- it is the office who is the complainant. Thus the successor in the office will pursue the complainant.

Thanks. Is it necessary to file a formal application for substitution of complainant( by the Officer who had originally filed the complainant on behalf of his office)

Yes, his successor can become the complainant by filing an application in this regard.

along with the petition you have to file the document showing his authority to represent the company.
