If you have file cases then the said matter should be adjudicated here because the cause of action arose here in India. It's not clear to me what are the cases you have filed in Kolkata after you moved here from your in-laws house. You can get back your stridhan property by filing a criminal case.

Stridhan is your property and are entitled to get it back from your husband. Stridhan includes jewellery gifts etc which you received during and after the marriage from your parents or from your in-laws and husband or guest. You did not mention what type of cases you filed in Kolkata. are you referring to domestic violence case and 498A case? if divorce petition has not been filed then both you and your husband can file a mutual consent divorce petition before the court. At the time of filing and moving the first motion your and husband's presence is not required however after 6 months at the time moving the second motion both you and husband's physical presence in the court is mandatory. if either party to the marriage fail to appear on the second motion then decree of mutual consent divorce won't be issued. Contact me for further assistance.
