Paid 20% of the amount of flat but construction not started yet


15-Jun-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
Paid 20% of flat cost to builders for project in 2012. But their papers were not clean so work has not started till now. From past 2 years have been following up with him for refund bt he is making fool with some or other reasons. In December 2015, loged complaint against partners, got cheque but that got bounced for payment in Feb 2016, sent notice but no reply. Recently we customers went in group to his house to talk bt he came to hit us, again lodged complaint against partners. Now we call them for payment bt filing case against us. Suggestions??

Dear Sir,

The available legal options for you are as under:-

1) If there is an agreement and/or any MOU executed between you and the builder move Hon'ble High Court and claim damages and/or specific performance depending on what agreement you have. As the details are not elaborated i am giving you a rough idea;

2) File a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act depending on what date the notice has been issued; and

3) If there is a valid agreement you can go ahead and also file a consumer case before the Hon'ble Consumer Forum.
