Yes she have to present before the magistrate and magistrate will examine her by asking some relevant questions of the case and asked for evidence .

She has to be physically present and depose, which cannot be admitted by way of affidavit (as it may be submitted in civil case- even there also the affidavit is required to be tendered personally to the court)

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 01 October 2014
I agree with the experts that she has to depose before the magistrate on an affidavit to establish her genuineness in her private complaint.
