How to deal with non cooperative builder


26-May-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
We booked an under construction flat in NOIDA in march 2014. However after paying 30 per cent of the amount we got to know that the land has been sealed by the Noida authority. We kept asking for out money back, however have received non since 2017. We are in touch with the builder and have spoken to him about sending a notice,however he tells us that he already has numerous cases on him and one extra will not matter. My parents are retired and getting back this money is very important.

He is under an obligation to refund you this amount together with interest if the project has been jeopardised due to a fault of his. You can choose between making a complaint before the consumer forum or the real Estate authority. You're bound to get the refund. However, it is imperative that you should send him a legal notice first.

You have an option to file a complaint before consumer court or another option is to lodge a criminal case against the builder. It is true that so many cases are filed against the builder but on the other side there are so many persons who are victims. And filing case by a number of persons will put an extra pressure on the builder. Court is the correct forum, which can order and enforce the refund. There may be some delay but surety is there.

You have two way for doing legal proceedings against that builders. One is you can file a complaint in consumer court for getting your money back or getting flat. Second is you can file a police complaint against that builders. After that he under-pressure and give your money back.

It doesn't matter how many cases are pending against the builder. A legal notice is to be issued demanding payment failing which filing a consumer complaint is the remedy. The jurisdiction will depend on the amount involved. It should be initiated without any further delay to avoid being barred by limitation.

You can file for the interest component separately or the principle along with interest in case there has been a breach of contract. WHile there are several fora where such claims can be instituted, including the newly instituted Real Estate Regulatory Authority, I would recommend filing before the NCDRC.

You have 3 options before you (1) You should file consumer case with the help preferably of an Advocate (2) You need to file police complaint for cheating and also lodge a criminal complaint in local criminal court (3) You need to file a Civil suit to compel the builder to either hand over possession as per agreement or refund the money along with interest.
