Is there any specific or directory provision in act or any ruling regarding it, on the bases of which application will be moved?

Better engage an advocate practicing in criminal courts, rather than proceeding yourself and landing to trouble.

Shonee Kapoor (Expert) 22 April 2012
Yes.

But it is advisable only, if you possess some basic knowledge of law.

As there is express provision that prosecution cam be done by person himself or by a pleader but as for accused there is no such specific provision. So we can assume it as given when legislature do not intend to so. (sec. 302, 303 cr.P.C.)
