Dear Mr.Suresh,
The lawyer can definately file the petition on your behalf after being authorised for the same. Since child's custody is a sensitive issue - and welfare of the child is of paramount consdieration the court may before deciding on custody, would like to examine you, and in that your presence may become imperative, however you can make yourself available through Video Conferencing, the facilities are now available in Indian Courts.
Feel free to talk !

Atleast in Delhi, the person seeking custody has to be present on first date for examination by the court before notice is issued to the opposite party.

usually the court wants the father to be present during the proceedings. Otherwise you can give power of attorney to some one close who can attned on your behalf. Please appear for the first date personally.
POA has to be signed by the indian embassy
