son & duagher witness can be accepted by court. Independent witness is more effective. Examination of complainant - A magistrate taking cognizance of an offence on complaint shall, examine upon oath the complainant and witnesses present, if any and the substance of such examination shall be reduced into writing and shall be signed by the complainant and witnesses and also by the magistrate.

It is not necessary to get an independent witness deposed for taking cognizance of the complaint.

Having lodged the FIR, it is for the Police to take further steps. Being a cognizable offence, onus for producing the evidence is primarily with the police and the prosecutor.
