Questions Answered by Advocate Madhura Athalye
Q: Financial fraud by employee of the builder
I paid an advance to a builder’s employee for a flat, but later discovered that it was not booked in my name and my money was allegedly misappropriated. Several others have faced similar losses. We have filed a police complaint against the employee, and the builder has also complained against him. We suspect the builder’s involvement and seek a fair investigation, but the police are not cooperating. What legal action I can take?
Advocate Madhura Athalye answered
if the police are not co-operating you may send your grievances to the superintendent of the police and the superintendent of the police also fails to consider your grievances, you may file an application before court for directions of investigation and registration of FIR against the concerned persons

You may be pressed for no argument against the Respondent as it's been pending for a long time. If you are an accused apply for dismissal before the court for want of the prosecution. 309 CrPC is not a remedy.
