Vipin ji your wife can't act like this since it is joint Hindu property.

You can get access by amicable settlement or mediation technique.

You can take release deed from her if u want your name on that property.

If u like my suggstion then give THANK my profile.

Dear Vipin:

As long as you are married, your wife can file DV case, and obtain protection orders prohibiting you from entering the apartment. The orders can be interim and/or final. You have to fight the DV case to get the protection order lifted. DV cases can take 4-5 years. If you are divorced, it is then her "Stridhan" and becomes her property because according to Hindu Marriage Act, any gift given by husband to wife becomes her own.

Hello Vipin, As per the supreme court judgement who posses the title of the deed is the only owner of the property wheather payment made by anyone. But u have one remedy of injuction or stay nd u can enjoy the stay till 15-20 years. For detail remedy options please call me on my no. 8826550368.

If the property has been purchased by your funds in the name of your wife, then the same happens to be a Benami Transaction and hence any right or title you claim over the same is barred by law.
