Can I send a legal notice if my sister refuses return?

Sir, I request your advice on what to do if my married sister has not returned my money and jewelry after taking them from me for her son's marriage. After the marriage, she has denied returning the items and even threatened me, saying that she will claim the heritage land if I demand the return of the jewelry. Can I send her a legal notice in this situation?

Yes, you can send a legal notice through an advocate under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for the money and file a criminal complaint under Section 406 of the Indian Penal Code for criminal breach of trust regarding the jewelry. Additionally, you can file a civil suit for recovery of money and jewelry under Order 37 of the Civil Procedure Code, and if there are threats involved, you can file a complaint under Section 506 IPC for criminal intimidation.
