Section 154 Crpc defines FIR as the First Information Report as to a cognizable offence being committed which is given to the police.
It is generally a complaint lodged with the police by the victim of a cognizable offence or by someone on his/her behalf. Anyone can report the commission of a cognizable offence either orally or in writing to the police. Even a telephonic message can be treated as an FIR.

A Zero FIR refers to the provision that an FIR may be filed in any police station irrespective of the jurisdiction and can then be transferred to a police station of appropriate jurisdiction.

So, you can lodge FIR in the city either X or Y.

Whatsoever place is convenient for you to attend the court proceedings. You can choose from either of the two.
Its preferable to make your place as the jurisdiction as you can commute easily and can witness the proceedings in less expenses.
