Hi,

It is better to apply and get AB and then go for quashing of the case.

NRI brother should also file for anticipatory bail in sessions or high court.

Also, petition under section 482 for quashing of FIR can be filed in High Court, if no prima facie case has been made out against the accused persons.

He should also try to procure evidence which shows that he is not in possession of the belongings office of his deceased wife or which proves that she hadn't brought any at the time of marriage.

Whatever wife has received fro her parents, will return to them if no child. As per law any property inherited from her parents, in case no child will inherited back in her parents heirs.

If it is proved that wife death is due to you, than you are not entitle to keep her things.

See if NRI is outside country then he cannot obtain Anticipatory bail for anticipatory bail he has to be present in country. See if reason of death is known on foreign land and it is not due to suicide then in that case quashing petition can be filed before the high court.

Since the police have already registered FIR  in this regard,  the accused have to challenge the case in the trial proceedings. 

If possible let them file a quash petition before high court on the basis of documentary evidence and merits.

Dear Sir,

The jewelry of the girl is a Streedhan and after the demise of the girl, the jewelry naturally goes to the legal heirs i.e. her father side.

S 15 (2)(a) HSA clearly states that the property inherited by a female hindu from her father or  mother shall devolve upon the heirs of her father, in the absence of any sons or daughters. 

Streedhan is the property that a woman obtains at the time of her marriage, it differs from Dowry in the way that it is the voluntary gifts given to a woman before or after her marriage and has no element of coercion. ... Women have an absolute right over their Streedhan.

Dear sir

There are no special provision in Indian penal code for any NRI person every one is equal in front of law.  The remedy for him is also that he should apply for anticipatory bail in the session court of Patiala. 

And also have to join the investigation of FIR even after the bail is allowed. 

Also family of In-laws are legal heir of the property of girl but it will be in situation if the death was natural. Not by some conspiracy.
