You can appoint your own lawyer and apply to the court U/s.302 Cr.P.C. for permission to conduct prosecution.

The provisions of section 302 as well case law thereon is very clear and you will get permission to conduct prosecution through your lawyer.

You may engage a private counsel who may not only assist the APP but also address the court by seeking permission. You may also make a complaint against the APP to the court as also to his higher authority ONLY if you have substantial material to support your allegation, not just on conjectures.
