You, being educated and employed committed a blunder by signing the paper that you and your father have taken dowry - it is an evidence against yourself.  They are not interested in compromise, they will use these papers in their divorce case. 

If the operational instructions in the joint account is -jointly or surviver- you cannot withdraw the money singly without the signature of the joint holder. 

You have to engage a good local lawyer to come out of these problems, who can suggest the remedial measures after looking into the papers.

Hi Thanks..But in FIR my wife mentioned 15 lakhs dowry given to me and in Rs.20 papers she and her father signed Rs.6 lakhs dowry given.They forced me to sign on that paper when we all are in police station.we didn't have option that day. Is this helps to me to fight? Please advise.

If they are not coming for compromise, can I ask joint account holder to give me money back? if he doesn't listen shall I file civil suit and criminal case on them? Please advise. Thanks to all
