Your aunt simply will have to worry about nothing.
The case filed by your uncle has no merit at all.
Ask her aunt to file case under Domestic Violence Act wherein she can claim maintenance for the children and for herself and once the order is passed your uncle can not avoid it.
To stop his tortures she can file case u/s 498A IPC as well.

Dear Querist
the Domestic violence case can be filed before magistrate court where your aunt is residing.
she may file a divorce case against him before family court under section 13(1)(ia)&(ib) of Hindu Marriage Act
she may file a maintenance case against him too.
Yes, you can produce the proofs of payments made towards the education of the children.
The domestic violence case can be filed at the place where your aunt is currently staying.
Hnce file DV case as apa wherein she can claim interim maintenance as well. if the court so wishes, it can grant maintenance even before her husband get the notice of the case.
Meet a good lawyer.
Don't be panic. Handle the matter very carefully.
Send a replay notice with the help of a lawyer. Your aunty can claim maintenances for herself and her daughters. For that purpose file a case for maintenance and protection under DV Act before the Judicial First class magistrate court in Hyderabad .(Check whether the jurisdiction of the JFCM court lie with in your police station limit).
