- mikecb 11y agoThey may be able to, depending on Indian Court's jurisprudence on personal jurisdiction, but unless they have assets in India, the Indian judgement would have to be brought to the United States for enforcement. The U.S. has laws and procedures outlining what sorts of foreign judgements will and will not be honored and enforced by U.S. Courts. For example, a U.S. Court will not enforce a libel judgement from a UK court, because of the SPEECH Act.
