In a pending court case, it may be appropriate to proceed further in accordance with the advice of your lawyer.
a husband is duty bound to provide residence to his wife whether shared household or a house on rent. you can ask the court for interim orders regarding residence and at the same time, you can seek appropriate orders that your in laws are refrained from committing any act of domestic violence against you. you can approch the HC for cancellation the bail but u need to have solid grounds for that. is it possible for you to reproduce the order of session judge granting bail without mentioning the identity of parties.
I agree with the opinion given by Shri Rajiv Gupta
