Hi me and my wife both are Canadian Citizen. My wife has filed a Money Recovery Case in Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada. The case is still going on in Canada. Then she decided to file a fake FIR in India (406, 420 IPC) in India as well.
My question is can I be tried in two courts of two different country at the same time.
Thanks,
Rajeev

Presumably, the case pending in Canada is a civil action. She can file a criminal complaint in India if the alleged offence had been committed in this country.
There is no double jeopardy has in the facts disclosed.

If the crime has occurred in India, FIR can be filed here.

No Sir the allege crime of money and even the 498a all has happened in Canada. My estranged wife n me we both lived in Canada from 2000 till October 2012. Nothing has happened in India except 504 & 506.....out here she has claimed that I swear and insulted her at her parents house in India. Even this is 100% lie but at least this allege allegation did happened in India.
