Private lawyer can be engage by the wife, but private lawyer cannot replace the public prosecutor.

Criminal cases are against state public prosecutor cannot be replaced.

Sandeep,

Though the state isrepresented by the Public Prosecutor the victim or complainant can also file a petition before the concerned jurisdictional magistrate or the sessions court to appoint a Lawyer of his or her choice to assist the prosecutor in conducting the trial.
