	Dear experts...My wife left me year ago with all my valuables including documents and gold to her parents house and filed false 498A package... I already got a B REPORT that it's a false case.. now I want to recover my valuables...pls guide me how do I get it? Thank you

You can file a complaint under Section 406 IPC which is misappropriation of somebody else's property when there is no relationship between you and your wife left.

So first question is, have you both got divorced?

If answer is no.  Then your 406 at best will simply keep hanging or get dismissed eventually.

Only if there is no relationship left between you and your wife on paper, and you got valid divorce decree from family court, then you can go for these things to claim your property back or else no.

Unless your marriage dispute is settled your accounts cannot be settled. This much you should be able to understand.  

Without you giving resignation letter to the company / office, your account wont be settled by the office / company. Then they will check how much is due to you from the company. How much company over paid you. What are the bills you showed. Are those valid VAT bills, now GST bills? Only then your account will be settled.

In marriage also the same case. Your marriage should be dissovled only then you can claim your items back. Case you can file.All idiots file. But the case will be left hanging.  Not to be decided until your divorce is settled. You pay alimony to her, you clear off old dues of alimony to her etc.  Then court will decide on this 406 particularly if you have claimed your items back and not alleged something else in your petition.  If your divorce case gets dismissed, all this 406 and any other case you file on your wife will get dismissed along with it or later.  Wives will get their items back under 406. Thatt is altogether different story and that wont apply to you.  Indian laws are made for women. Not for men. RIP.
