Reading: My wife left me in August 2014 and accused me of dowry harassment in a domestic violence complaint. She claimed my mother took her jewelry and never returned it. I attended counseling, but no dowry list was given to me. After the counseling failed, a police case was filed. It’s been a year, and I haven’t received any notice from the police. All the accusations are false. I’m contesting both the domestic violence and maintenance case. However, she’s been wearing the jewelry she said was taken. Some of her jewelry is still in our house, but I want to return it to avoid legal trouble. How can I return it to the court myself? Mediation is underway, but settlement seems unlikely.

You can’t directly return the jewelry to the court yourself. You should seek legal advice from a lawyer. They can guide you on how to return the jewelry safely and ensure it’s documented in a way that protects you legally, especially considering the ongoing case. You can mention this during mediation to potentially reach a resolution.
