Hi, you can file both the cases for divorce and dowry harassment. If you want to claim back your dowry amount and jewels you also can file a DV case seeking for return of streedhan. So you have many options to proceed with chose anything appropriate for for you or u can proceed with all.

Dear madam,
You can file divorce, domestic violence and dowry case at once, you can't claim your dowry amount in dowry case but you can get your money back in the form of permanent alimony and also you can claim compensation In domestic violence case.

Dear Client,

You can file the Domestic violence petition before jurisdictional magistrate court for mental torture including maintenance for the same and you can file maintenance case under section 125 of CRPC (Criminal Procedure Code), you will get permanent alimony and you can file Divorce petition suit before jurisdictional court.
