Your query is not complete and does not inform as to what exactly do you wish to know. The builder can certainly sell the scrap and it is not your concern. If he has not complete the work and has not handed over possession to you then you can file a criminal case against the builder for fraud, misrepresentation, criminal breach of trust, and secondly approach the consumer court for refund. You can also simultaneously approach civil court for damages for harassment.

Dear Sir,

You at the outset should serve a legal notice to the builder to understand his stand . As mentioned the construction has stopped and there is delay in the project the said facts should be detailed out in the legal notice. Pursuant to that you can approach the Consumer forum with a complaint stating your claims and damages sought. Further you can also file a winding up for which there is a specific procedure.

Regards,

Joseph

Dear sir,
As per law, if builder refuse to abide by the agreement then the consumer can claim the amount back, for which you need to approach the consumer forum. Hi, the jurisdiction and the right course of action can be adviced only after knowing the merits of your case.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned, to take this forward.
