You will have to decide first what relief you want. If you make dowry harassment on one hand and claim restoration of conjugal rights on the other hand chances are more that you will fail. Think about it. Getting details of his exact income is not a big deal if you know where he works, you will have to file an application to summon his employer to give details about his income.

You can show his income by providing his salary details and through issuance of court summons for production of documents. You can contest the case stating that without any proper reasons withdtwan from the society and marriage obligations.
