Family Law
► Most of my jewellery has been kept by my father in law , only few pieces I had kept with me because during I wedding I didn't have a locker. After my wedding I have opened a locker in my father's Sbi bank account and kept my jewellery there. My FIL was keeping the remaining jewellery and now when I want to use my jewellery for family functions they r not giving me. Neither my husband nor the FIL and they r forcing me to use the jewellery kept in the locker stating you gave these jewellery to us for keeping now we have kept it somewhere which is far . So it can't be returned now but someday we will return. Neither they r revealing where is it kept nor they r telling when they will give. I have no information on my wedding jewellery. I had given them with trust but now where it is I don't know . They people were urging me to chng my nominee of all my bank account also and when I denied to change it immediately they were unhappy and were trying to discourage me. It's been 5 days n I have asked them atleast 3-4 times even my father asked them to provision me my jewellery so that I can wear it for the upcoming event in our family n relatives functions but they are not returning. What immediate steps I should take. How long it will take to get my jewellery back. Is there any evidence needed apart from few photos that were being clicked during marriage? Please help.
