Foreign national cheated

 

I am a Foreign National of Indian Origin who has been cheated by an Indian Company (3 directors who are all brothers) and a non-director (father).

I had been sent a SWIFT copy (international payment order) which when submitted by me in my bank and subsequently deemed to be Fake.  The amount runs into crores.

I flew down and through the necessary people filed a police complaint with the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police and had all of them arrested.  15 days the accused were in police custody and then released on bail.

 

A chargesheet will soon be filed in the next week or 2.

My question is how long would it take for an actual trial to begin and reach a verdict after filing of chargesheet?

Me being a foreign national and having no other source of income in india, can the case be expedited?


 
 
Should I file a civil suit?  IF yes, what kind of suit is advisable to file?
 
What are the delaying tactics my advesaries can use and how can i pre-empt that?
 
Is there anything else I can do in this situation?

no of accused you said is 12 and number of complainant/witnesses will also be high. so long delay is anticipated. a criminal case is no bar on civil suit which is between Mr X and Y.
