you can nominate your power of attorney who can appear in the court on your behalf and represent you in the court proceedings. if required court will ask you to remain present other wise your power of attorney can deal with the matter

You can hire a lawyer and file a case here in India. you will just have to sign the Vakalatnama which you can also send it through courier services or else you may execute a power of attorney to file a case to some trust worthy person so that all the technical issues like signatures and other things can be done by the person to whom who is POA holder.
