Initially you should lodge a first information report .The court will take cognigence of the matter where the offence was committed.later on you may apply for transfer of the case in your nearby court.

Ordinarily an offence is to be inquired into and tried by a Court within whose local jurisdiction the offence was committed which has been specifically been provided under section 177 of the CrPC. There are exceptions but I do not think from the information provided that your case will fall under the exception. For accurate information on your case, facts would be required.
