you can file a case for maintenance against your husband for the survival of you and the child. And can seek residential and other rights under domestic violence act. even you can file for a petition for reunion by filing restitution of conjugal rights.

I think that your marriage took place under the Special Marriage act. It is better for you to lodge a police complaint under Secn., 498/A and as well move a family court to safeguard your interest under the Domestic Violence act. You give a list of jewels to the police so that they can interrogate your husband and make him to return the jewels to you.
