Jewellery stolen by my niece

The accused being minors, they would be tried by the Juvenile Court. You seek possession of the material from the said Court.

Thank you sir for considering the matter.The main concern is that I haven't filed FIR since 5 months and I don't have receipts of jewellery items.What will be the contstraints, I have to face in court to recover my jewellery ?

Fir is not registered against a minor. Only in cases of hideous crimes like murder, a fir is registered against a minor.

Thanks a lot.Can photos of jewellery is considered as a legal proof to recover gthe stolen items from court or receipts are mandatory.Because,I don't have the receipts, these are stolen too.

Question-wise reply is as under:

Q 1) Though my niece admitted in front of police that she has stolen jewellery from my room  and we haven’t filed FIR for 5 months, will there be any difficulties to get the jewellery items from the police due to lack of FIR ?

Ans: No, the police has already informed you about recovered jewellary. It means the police has taken cognisance and inquiry is already in progress.

Q 2) Police has already recovered the stolen jewellery from the thief and has forwarded to court as sources said.

Ans: You are required to closely watch the proceedings of the Court / Juvenial Justice Board (as the case may be)

Q 3) I have photos of my jewelleries but I don’t have receipts.Because, these are also stolen by her.So, is there any way to get back the jewellery items from court by producing photos only in the absence of FIR, jewellery receipts ? What should be our legal proceeding to recover the jewellery items from the court ?

Ans: Yes, it can be taken back from court. Seek professional services of a local lawyer
 

Thank You Dr J C Vashista Sir.Your inputs are precious for me.God bless you Sir.You can't imagine how happy I am.Today I received a call from police station.They asked us to visit the police station to collect our jewellery items.They asked to produce 3 copies of phographs of each jewellery items along with receipts.I will visit tomorrow along with photos and two receipts of 5 jewellery items.Hope they will agree on this.

Thanks again Sir

who said that FIR is not registered against minor. withou FIR how he will be ried by juvenile court.

Views expressed by Dr Vashista are to the point.

We went to the police station today to get the jewellery. The cops demanded receipts and photos. We provided postcard-sized photos of all jewellery items as well as two receipts out of five. They requested that we write an application or affidavit because we had not filed a FIR.

They requested that we identify our jewellery.

We discovered four items, but my baby's chain was missing

According to the police, they did not recover that one.

It costs around Rs30,000.

The police asked us to return because the ASI was not in the office at the time.

Why isn't the police serious about my baby's chain ?
Is there any chance that they are trying to hide it ?
The police convinced us to be happy with the items which are recovered only.They asked us to forget about the baby's chain.

the part jwellery is recovered because theives were yet to be professional and were child only. 

since only part of jwellery is received you can concult your lawyer on feasibility of filing civil suit on your neice and her freind.

Hi Sir,

We visited to the police station to know any progress.The police asked us the sit and went to the IIC to discuss this matter.Then the police-in-charge told us that it's a court matter and they will forward our jewelleries long with the proofs to the court. They will call us when they will get notified from the court.We will got to this court and recognize our jewellery and own it as according to Police.

On the other hand, we discussed the police regarding the missing baby chain, they suggested us to arrange a meeting with the village head and try to settle it within yourself.We tried this idea, but it didn't work.My brother-in-law denied to give a single penny as compensation.My niece won't be arrested by the police because she is minor and the thief(boyfriend of my niece) acquitted by bail as sources told.

We are clueless.Should we rely on police and wait for their call or should we hire a lawyer now because, we haven't filed any FIR till now ?
We have no idea, how long such cases take to finish the judgement and how much the lawyer will charge in similar cases.

Please give me some advice.
 

Thanks

who told you that minor will not be arrested. Seems your BIL has well bribed the police.

who told you that bail is acquittal.

you have a chance  (not sure) to get the chain the moment your niece is brought to thana and made to sit on floor (not even locked)
