Wife not returning my personal items

I dont think you need to file any complain under section 406 (criminal breach of trust), as you have not handed over the property to her neither she had any dominion over the property.

Rather you should file complain for theft under section 378

I disagree with Rajani.  Theft will not be applicable as she is not a stranger and she is the legally wedded wife.  Criminal breach of trust will only apply. 

Dear Querist

Theft can be applicable there is no procedure that only stranger can stole the property of things, I completely Disagree with Mr. Ravinder.

i have filed 156(3) for registeration of FIR u/s 379,406,418,420 of IPC. As i read the bare law all are applicable applicable since the ingredients are all met. She is my wife and when i go out, i leave the entire items under her domain. it concern property, after making a police complaint against me she has proved beyond doubt that she nolonger has coordial realtions with me. above all the factor of trust has been broken. i have read numerous judgements on ingredients of criminal breach of trust. if the same can be applied on a husband which law prevents it to be applied on wife. incase anybody can post certain judgements in this regards, it shall be highly appreciable. the ietems mentioned in my police complaint in no way have any resembalannce to stridhan they are exclusively personal items like passport etc. Regards.
