My mother-in-law has kept my jewellery, despite asking not returning


25-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi - My mother in law misbehaved with me when my husband left me at his place for some days. After that, I left that house, came back to my parents and have been here since. My gold is still with her in that houseMy husband also lives with me at my parent's house and we have a daughter. She didnt even acknoweldge her. she lied about the gold first that my sister in law has taken it, but my sister in law said that my mother in law only has it. My husband called again but she said in a very bad manner that she will not give our things back: my gold and even my husband's thing at the place that he has bought with his own money.

Hi u can file case or complaint in C A W cell near to ur location . The lady police official will help ur gold to recover . The concerning police station people will definitely help you out but it is not hundred percent sure that you are gold will be recovered if you are going to file a complaint in woman cell they will register your complaint under section 406IPC and in that manner there are chances that you are God can be recover and still you can file a case of domestic violence act in concerning Mahila court where you can get some relief as well

Hi, Going by the limited information provided by you, it is essential to send them a legal notice asking her to return the gold/ other properties which are in her possession otherwise legal action will be initiated against her. For better understanding of the matter and advising properly, it is advised to have a meeting.

You can move an application addressed to the protection office under DV act and then you need to file an application before the concerned court under DV act for monetary relief from your mother in law .. however, You should have a proof of a gold which you had during the period you stayed with your mother in law. Additional to attract the DV Act you need to show that there was a domestic violence against you. Besides above you have remedy under civil (recovery/damages) and criminal law (misappropriation of property/criminal breach of trust),
