Since I have been in US working for the last 8 years a relative is trying to provide false documents and usurp the property. How can I file a case against a person in India.

Firstly, do you still have the Indian citizenship or not? Secondly, as the subject matter in dispute and the parties you are intending to sue are in India, so yo have to file your case in India. You can even file a case agianst your relatives while sitting in US but nevertheless you have to contact an attorney. An attorney can file a suit on your behalf in India and your personal appearance in the case may not be necessary. If you do not know any attorney in India then you can search them on the internet. www.legal500.com is a good site for that. But if you are unable to find them then you may contact me.

You have to obtain an injunction against any possible sale from an indian court- the court which has jurisdictio over the subject property. whether you are an indian citizen or not is immaterial. you need to find a competent advocate - which you can do by searching the net. you need to explain the problem to him and ask him to get an injuction - the job is simple. you can do one more thing. insert an advertisement in english and vernacular dailies circulating in the area (in india) clearly stating that you r the owner of specified property and you have not given any power of attorney to anyone. the advocate can do this also. it is not necessary for you to come to india for filing the suit. you can affirm the documents before the specified officer of indian embassy whereever you are and send it to the advocate.

The short answer is that you are going to need an attorney, and here is why: the laws of jurisdiction, venue, and service of process are complicated. in order for your case to be heard in an american court, the court must be able to assert jurisdiction over the person you are suing - which is usually the case when the person has made a purposeful availment of the protections of the jurisdictions laws. thats your first step . . .
