Remedy for breach of token money by the builder
Answers (3)
You will have to establish payment, with the help of witnesses who were present at the time of the transaction. You will also need to establish the money was with you legally in cash. If you consider you can establish the above and that the payment was against a verbal contract for sale of flat, you can approach the civil court. I would suggest that you personally contact some lawyer, so that you can discuss your options in detail.
The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.
Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue.

Was the token amount mentioned in any written agreement? In absence of any receipt it will be difficult to get back the token amount. Assuming that your contract with the builder is in writing, I advise you to file a civil suit for the specific performance of the contract, if it is beneficial for you. In addition ask in the same suit for the compensation for the breach of contract. In that way even if the specific performance of contract is not decreed by the court, it may award you proper compensation. Also plead in that suit about the token amount, even if you don't have the receipt, you can try to prove it by oral evidence of witnesses.
