In law if a person has purchased the plot in his own name by fraud by putting the money or withdrawing the money then in such case you shall have the right to approach an advocate for instituting a case against your wife for the recovery of possession of the plot. But since you both have separated then you shall file a case for divorce as well. The aadvocate then will send a notice for fraud and then further criminal proceedings will proceed. The chances of success shall depend upon facts and circumstances of the case
