In a criminal case complainant will be required to advance evidence. As a matter of fact presence could be required at other hearings also. However, need to understand facts of the case & proposed action for providing better opinion

Mr. Somnath Mukherjee,
As a proprietor of some firm, do you have clients or customers?
Also, who made crime against your NRI client, when he is living abraod?
Also, when you are a proprietor, not a lawyer, in which capacity do you want to file a case in the absence of your so called client?
Give full background of the case. Your query without any background history has no relevance and makes it an academic query only.

Prima facie it is a hypothetical and academic query.
Filing a suit is seeking a civil remedy which may be filed by a NRI; in his absence through a duly authorized attorney.
Rightly observed and pointed out by learned expert Sh. PS Dhingra, no crime can happen/take place to a person sitting/ living 7 ocean away in UK.
Give all relevant particular to a local lawyer for proper advise, guidance and proceeding in a professional manner.
