Mr.Bharathy, banks follow the procedure of taking Indemenity bond in such situations, this party may approach the bank and by paying the entire loan amount, she is entitled to get back her jewels, without intervention of her husband. if the said husband is influencing, then a legal notice may be sent to the concerned bank and its head office as such. this type of case can very well taken before Banking ombudsman for better remedy.
