You may file an application before the appropriate family court or the magistrate court under Section 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act or Section 406 IPC for recovery of your ornaments from the joint locker. Since the keys are with your husband and the locker could not be opened due to arrears, you may seek a court direction to the bank to permit access or resolve the arrears. The fact that a chargesheet has been filed also supports your claim. Engage a lawyer to press for a court-monitored access to the locker and recovery of your belongings. for further discussion kindly contact.

Based on the details provided, it is clear that while the police have submitted the chargesheet, the specific issue regarding the joint locker and recovery of your ornaments remains unresolved due to the objection raised by your husband about locker maintenance. Given the circumstances, we recommend taking legal steps to specifically address the locker issue through a court-monitored application. This will ensure direct access, under court supervision, to open the locker and confirm the contents. I’d be happy to assist you in filing this application to expedite the recovery process and safeguard your rights. Please let me know a convenient time to discuss this further. Regards, Yashashwi Sundariya.
