Hello Experts - I need your help with a query. My wife has filed false 498A/406, DV and 125. Now to avoid arrest the judge asked us to return Rs 2 lacs given to me during tilak and engagement ring. Now the IO is also asking us to return that too since it is streedhan. We tried to explain it to him that that is not streedhan as it was given to husband. We have returned all other movables items like TV, fridge etc. and all the jewellery given to her by my parents and myself. But the judge has not given us bail and my lawyer is telling that judge will only give me bail when I return the tilak money. We have already given the engagement ring given to me and other rings and gold chain to police and we have got the acknowledgement. I would request you to give me directions/ judgement (if any) that specify that gifts given to husband specifically are not streedhan. Please help as I need to secure bail for my parents and me and we are very tensed and in great pain due to harassment by girl's family.

It is unconvincing any Judge can lay down such 'demands' for grant of bail.
