as per indian law, once the property stands in joint name, both are considered owners. however, you may file a suit for declaration of ownership on the basis of payment of entire consideration out of your account. you may see a lawyer to file the suit and seek interim orders.

The opinion given herein above is misleading and without any basis. As per indian and hindu succession laws ,your wife is the 50% owner of the flat and you cant take away this right from her in any manner.
