Yes you can directly make a written complaint to the Magistrate. Thereafter the magistrate may order the police to register an FIR and start investigation u/Sec.156(3) of CrPC or the court straightforward may issue summons to the accused after examining you(complainant) u/Sec.200 of CrPC. The magistrate may take any of these two courses as per his discretion.
