You may file both the cases simultaneously - a complaint to the police u/s 406 IPC for recovery of istridhan; and a complaint under D.V.A. for "domestic voilence" and damages.

The power vested in courts under D.V.A may also be exercised by way of ancilliary proceedings in any other proceeding. e.g. if a maintenance case is pending, in that case an application under D.V.A. may be made for appropriate relief.
