Cheque issued by builder bounced. How long before I get the money?


24-Aug-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
A builder issued a cheque as a partial refund of the amount I paid for a flat. I was given excuses to not present the cheque on the date mentioned on the instrument. However, I presented the cheque before 3 months from the date keeping in mind its validity, so that I can proceed legally. Cheque returned with note "stoppage of payment". Legal notice was issued within 15 days. We have also filed a case u/s 138. Now that he has sold the flat in question to someone else, when our sale agreement is not cancelled. How soon can I get the money back? Will the court order this builder to pay us compensation? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

You will get only cheque anount plus 20 percent as penalty. If you wish to get entire cheque amount with interest etc then you have to approach Consumer Court or Civil Court. It is better to attach his other properties.
