498a, and 406 are for punishment. But, normally, as a condition of bail, the accused in laws return the stridhan. or else, you may ask the investigating officer to get the stridhan released.
recovery of stridhan and other belongs could have been done as a precondition for the bail of your husband. however, you may seek remedial measures under domestic violence act.
