Recovery of advanced amount paid to a seller
29-Oct-2023 (In Civil Law)
A man paid advanced money to a seller to buy his property. Now the seller is neither delivering the property nor returning this advanced amount paid. What are his legal remedies against this seller now ? There are no documents to this effect since it was paid in hard cash.
If there was some witness to the transaction, and he or she is ready to depose, you may file a criminal case as well as a civil case for recovery of money. presence of witness is necessary, since otherwise it will be difficult to prove the transaction.

You have an option to file a recovery suit seeking refund or specific performance of the contract. Further you may file a case for cheating. Since you have not documented the transaction, you need a witness who would depose in your favour

A legal notice to the effect of recovery can be sent to the seller. which will be categorically stating the sum paid to the seller,in case receipts of cash is available it will be mentioned in the notice. Thats how the notice will be acting as an evidence to the sum paid and in case the money is not returned the case can be filed on the basis of admission and denial.
