Yes constable can file a case on the SHO. The I/O will be a different person.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 13 August 2011
If SHO has committed such offence within the jurisdiction of same police station against the constable then report shall be lodged by victim in the same police station without obtaining any prior permission from any higher officer as of a layman.

Dr Anil Kumar Singh (Expert) 16 August 2011
All provisions of Cr PC are applicable in this case. The FIR can be lodged against the SHO as can be done against any other person. Since both belong to same department, matter shall also be reported to Higher Auth for Dept action.
