It is pertinent, that they may initiate criminal proceedings against you u/s 138 of NI Act. However, if you have evidences to prove whatever you have stated in your query then better contest the case.And further, how do you know that they have not received your reply to the legal notice and then reissued another notice to a wrong address ?

Q: Property deal went wrong due to seller backoff

and as the seller is an NRI how can i fight a legal case with them and do i stand any chance to get back compensation and also get back my full advance money back ?- can i also file a case on the real estate agent ?- also can i get stay order on their flat till our case is resolved so that they cant sell it to other buyer till the time our dispute solved?- can i fill a case on the POA holder ?

Advocate Arjun Chowdhury answered
Definitely you can. To advice you the correct remedies I need to look into the clauses of the agreement to sell. However, since there is a breach of agreement, you definitely can sue them for damages. Since the seller is an NRI, he must have given the power of attorney to someone else. you have to sue the seller as well as the PoA holder and that will force them to come for a compromise or they might have to pay damages

Advocate Arjun Chowdhury answered
As per your query if land is already been transferred to your name or to be precise ownership is already with you for half of the land, then obviously you can decision as per your wish as to what you want to do with the remaining portion of land. If the land is already transferred to your name, the ownership is with you only and you are free to take decision with respect to that part of the land.
