Wife is in Canada. Husband and Wife’s father both are residing in India. The divorce case applied through power of attorney holder -wife’s father under section 13 (1)(ia) in family court of India. My question is, Is there rights of wife’s father (who lives in India) to take all ornaments and things of wife from husband before divorce? If wife’s father has rights to take all ornament s and things of wife from husband, then what procedure wife’s father have to do legally?

The validity of power of attorney is challanged by huaband because the power of attorney is not countersigned by Indian High commission/Consulat of Canada but, notarized by public notary of Canada.The hearing about validity of power of attorney is pending.Can wife's father demand or have taken rights for ornaments and other things of wife from husband though the hearing is pending about validity of power of attorney?

While power of attorney is under challenge and sub-judice, it is not advisable to hand over the stri-dhan to power of attorney holder (FIL), till the issue is disposed off in favour of father-in-law.
