Developer sold and registered the same plot to two buyers


16-Oct-2023 (In Property Law)
I purchased a site (30'x50') in Bangalore from a developer and got the sale registered in the sub-registrars office(Kengeri) in June 2010. I had taken the help of an agent to verify the documents. However when I applied for transfer of khata recently I came to know that the same site was sold and registered to another person in May 2010(15 days before my sale deed was registered). The developer promised me to give me an alternate site but he has started avoiding me now. How to recover this money? Can I file a cheating case against this developer. Or only a civil case can be filed for this?

Fraudulent sale by developer amounts to cheating U/s 420 of IPC you can file criminal complaint against the developer, for cheating and fraud. Also you can file civil cases against the developer for the recovery of the money towards these sites. If you are in possession of the site, you can file for permanent injunction against the earlier owner and the developer as common defendant in the said case.

Hi sir/madam, you have to file complaint against the said developer for cheating and thereafter you have to file civil suit for recovery of money against them before jurisdictional civil court. If you want my legal service I will do it.
