For the past three years, my husband and in-laws have subjected me to harassment and continuous demands for money. We have given approximately ₹80 lakhs in the form of gold, silver, and cash. I have already filed a 498A case and a maintenance case against them, My husband has also failed to appear in court.
I am currently unemployed and have filed for maintenance, but he is avoiding those court proceedings as well.
Furthermore, I am demanding the return of the gold, silver, and cash, but they are refusing to return them.
Can I file a complaint under Section 406 IPC to recover my gold, cash, and silver?
or
Can I file case under DVC to recover my gold, cash, and silver?
or
Can I file both cases?
Please provide guidance better option to proceed.
