Can indian employees sue foreign director

Is it possible and practically work out if a General Manager (Head of the operations but, just an employee) of the company file a case against the Foreign Director (Investor from USA) of the company(it is a foreign director's company in SEZ) if the Director stops funding for the company's working capital, not paying the salaries of workers and staff including the GM for 4 months and not visiting the company for 3 months and not meeting the vendors for payment of their HUGE dues, not replying to their emails and not telling anybody whether he will pay or not, whether he will run the company or not.

The company is under shut down status since August 1st 2011, due to non-availability of funds and inability to pay for electricity bill also.

Since the Investor cum Director has left the company just like that to its fate and natural death and staying in his own country USA, please advise whether the GM alone or all employees together can file a case against the Director of the company who is an American national and now living in USA and not coming to India. The Director's confidence is that Indian law cannot reach him in USA and punish him, is it true? Please thorough study and advice.


Thank you.
