Dear Sir, Have you already executed the Agreement to Sale. If yes, what is the amount mentioned under consideration clause. Have you paid the entire consideration. You can file a case for cheating and MOFA i.e, Maharashtra Ownerships Flat Act.

This is clearly a case which comes in deficiency of service under Consumer Protection Act. You can issue legal notice to him by engaging advocate and if he doesn't complete work than file a consumer complaint in which you can ask for refund of money and compensation. The case also comes under Specific Relief Act.

You can send him a notice first asking him to act as per your cobtract. If he does not start with construction then you have multiple options but are time consuming. Out of which one is non performance of contract, other you can approach consumer court.
