Sorry but you have a very low chance of getting back your phone. But it can be blocked with the help of IMEI so that it can be of no more use than a paper weight for the thief.
If they do find a stolen phone and if it belongs to you they'll give it back.

YES: U've very low chance to get back ur mobile
NO: U can't block ur mobile (I say mobile not SIM)with the so called theoretically available IMEI track facility.
(The technology is available in theory and no-where in the world is applied to use. Only a small town of Australia is under the experiment as of now. Leave alone India.)
