Recently, while on holiday in India, I stayed at a relatives house and while watching anime on the channel animax, we started to watch Tantei Gakuen Q - which I found to be really interesting.
On my return to the UK, I checked the encyclopedia to find that it hasn't been licenced.
My problem here is that when I saw it in India, it was dubbed in english - does that mean its licensed? If so, why doesn't the encyclopedia have any information as to which studios did the dubbing?
I would really like to know, also because I want to watch this show, but I don't know if it would be alright for me to get this on fansub (don't tell )

More often than not, things can be dubbed into English and licensed in SE-Asia/India/wherever, and people won't know any different because no one keeps them informed. It's an arkward kind of situation, but generally, if it's on Animax, it isn't always licensed in the US.

There are also a lot of shows dubbed (in English) in the Phillipines, but they're not licensed here.

I see, does that mean that it's alright to download the fansubs - at least until it's licensed in the US?

Well, fansubs are illegal whether or not it's licensed in the US. It's just more frowned upon to download them once they are licensed here.
