In such cases the best you can do is to file a case in District Consumer Forum or State Commission depending on the value of the suit.
It might happen that after the notice the builder will himself to settle the case refund your money.

You have not disclosed the terms and conditions which you have signed at the time of booking of the flat but even then for recovery of your booking amount you have to send a legal demand notice to the builder through advocate and if builder did not pay the amount with in stipulated days as mentioned in your notice, you have to file a suit for recovery against the builder. You can also approach to consumer court but it will be finally decide which forum is best for you only after reading terms and conditions of your agreement.
Thanks and regards
