The Procedure U/S200 of Cr.P.C is very simple:
(i) First you prepre your "PRIVATE COMPLAINT" as per the formate for the alleged offences, attach all the documents along with your complaint separately as "LIST OF DOCUMENTS", and mention names of the witnesses to the alleged offences in your complaint in "LIST OF WITNESSES", then approaching to the "CONCERNED" Magisrate who is granted with Jurisdiction of that P.S, file your complaint in the "PRESENCE" of "COMPLAINANT".

(iii) After recording of such Evidence, Magistrate may directly "ORDER" for issuance of "SUMMONS " to the " ACCUSED".
For The Complaints, If Filed U/S. 200 Read/With Sec. 156 (3) of Cr.P.c.
(a) Then, on your Complaint, if and only if the Magistrate coniders, may either direct you to produce witnesses ( Complainant/Witnesses as per List) on the same day or any other day to record the "EVIDENCE".

Sir,
Kindly advise, when police do not register FIR on furnishing the details of cognizable offence, the remedy lies sending the written complaint to the Superintendent of Police u/s 154 (3) of cr p c through regd post. In such a situation if the complantant personally hand over the written complaint of the said cognizable offence to the SP and get the receipt on the second copy of the complaint for his record, for speedy action, avoiding postal delay . Will it make any difference not sending the complaint under regd post to attract section 154 (3) cr p c ?
