A complaint under section 198B did not require a separate complaint or signature by the person aggrieved, because the provision expressly requires only a written complaint by the Public Prosecutor with prior sanction of the competent authority. Section 198B(13) was construed as preserving the separate remedy under section 198 and not as importing its requirements into section 198B.
