Hi,

Is there any agreement between you and the builder, if yes then you have to go by the terms of the agreement in case of dispute. You can approach the Consumer Forum as a consumer for deficiency of service by the builder and also approach civil court for breach of contract and recovery of the amount paid and also for specific performance (to complete the work as agreed by the builder.

You can send a lawyer notice to the builder to pay back your amount .you have to wait for his reply. Most probably he will pay your amount if he does not pay the amount we can file a suit.so you don't worry.
