so you dont have any evidence of cash given at time of marriage .

you can file Dv case from place wherein you are currently residing .

What your husband did with such amount is also important. File a suit under Domestic Violence Act. Don't worry about your husband filing any kind of suit in Bangalore, you can get it transferred to Patna from Supreme Court.
