Wife's advocate has joint account

(Querist) 07 July 2012 This query is : Resolved 
My Wife had filed a divorce case according to muslim law around 3 years ago after leaving her matrimonial home and 2 sons, appointing my ex.advocate for the needful.
Before the filing of the divorce case in the court they were very friendly and we have found out that they also had opened a joint bank account together with instructions as either or survivor and he had also been the introducer for the joint account. The address for my wife was the matrimonial address as this was opened with address proof and his house address as the introducer's.
They also had a locker in the same bank on her name and had nominated him. In this her address was his office address and his as niminee was his house address.
The account was immediately closed and the locker account too when the same was found out about and has already been produced in the family court.
We had also previous to this filed adultery case on them.
He also picks her up in his car everytime they come to court from her work place.
Could this prove as adultery and is this amounting to professional misconuct as a lawyer.
Could we apply any criminal case on him for misguiding and misleading someones wife(that to ex. clients wife whos accounts and properties he knew of ins and out) besides adultery. If so under what sections.
Also is the wife entitled to any property or wealth in this case.
Kindly guide.
Regards
A
