For initiating case u/s 406 IPC , one need not produce receipt. Mere allegations in the complaint is sufficient.
Is you wife divorced or separated?
If she is already divorced then no such case can be filed against her.

The challan is wrong and illegal. Go to high court seeking quashing of FIR.

As the trial has reached a long way, there is no scope now to move for quashing of FIR. it shall be better to face the trial and rebut all charges and then lastly get exonerated of the charges.

Sir,
I have been unnecessarily dragged to court from lost 4 years,I dont no what to do as i am an employ,so your advise help my alot & i discuss accordingly with my counsel also.
So Please advise me,can delay in FIR help me out,as FIR has been lodged in oct 2010 & in FIR they claim she was thrown out of house by me in April 2009.
Moreover i have posted my divorce in NoV 2009,& in same month Nov 2009 five days after Divorce deed was posted they filed maintences petition for my baby as she herself is an employ & notice was served to me in Oct 2010,& it was dismissed on first date of hearing that is oct 2010 as i agreed to pay maintenane to my baby a deemed fit by Court.Then She filed RCR in oct 2010 which was dismissed by Court in Dec 2012 as i plied my divorce & court fond them not interested so the Court dismissed their petition.
Similar cases were filed by them against me in my office to concerned Minister,SHRC,Legislative Counsel etc in SHRC the case is still going.
How can these things help me 498A & 406,as FIR was also filed 5 days after RCR was filed.
Moreover as also mentioned early no receipt for Gold & other articles has been produced by herwith FIR.Also it is to mention here that she has already take all her Gold with herself when she left my house in Jan 2009 & I have also written same in my divorce deed that she has Taken her all Gold with herself however some Electronic Goods like TV,Fridge which she brought with her at the marriage are with & she can take them at any time.

As regards the case of 406 is concerned, you can cross-examine your wife in the said regard in respect of receipts of the gold or articles which she is claiming. You can sure apply for quashing of Challan before High Court. However, the same shall be decided on the basis of evidence produced by the police authorities. High court might even direct you to face trial.

When case is in court there is no point getting annoyed over this issue.
Appear and fight the case. If you are innocent then why are you so bothered.
