All Criminal cases are Mr.x and Mr. y and Government of..... Once a complaint is registered and Police file the case in the Court, both accused and the complainant are equal before the Court. Both should necessarily attend the Court without fail, unless for valid reasons, Court exempts the Complainant.
If complainant does not attend the court also summons shall be issued and if still does not attend, arrest warrant may be given in extreme cases.

If it's a police case, the SHO is the Complainant. The court constable can represent the SHO.
P. Venu (Advocate) 02 February 2019
The posting is an overstatement. The accused need not be present in every hearing; the court can exempt at its discretion. As to complainant, in a cognisable offence the defacto complainant is only the witness in the proceedings before the court; he/she needs to be present only when summoned for deposition. In a complaint case, the position of the complainant is no different from that of the accused.
