without submit a vakalatnama/power of attorney as a lawyer you cant file a complaint case in criminal matter.

But in emergency matter court has selp power to accept such complaint. But after complainant has to hire a advocate.

Yes you can file a complaint but not through registered post. you have to be present before the magistrate as he has to take your preliminery statements. You can also file a complaint against unknown persons in that case police can send it for inquiry or investigation to police
