If Court has already ruled in favour of X, you need to consult your lawyer with respect to approaching higher courts.

Generally, if accused is not hampering with trial or tampering with evidence/witnesses, then such things like he traveling out of India without prior permission of court looses its importance.

You may file an appropriate application in the pending case before the court seeking a direction that he be restrained from leaving the country without prior written permission from the court.
