Govt job fraud and not giving my money back.

804 votes

First of all rather than going legally you should serve him/her a legal notice and in that notice you can write that either pay my money or face legal action which will be at your own risk. After that if he/she fails to give you a satisfactory reply then you can anytime file a recovery suit in the court to claim your money back along with compensations.

If you have given ₹12 lakh to someone in exchange for securing a government job and they are now refusing to return the money, you can take legal action to recover it. The first step is to send a formal legal notice demanding repayment within a stipulated time. If they fail to comply, you can file a civil suit for recovery under Order 37 CPC (Summary Suit) or a regular money recovery suit based on the available evidence, such as bank transfers, agreements, or messages. Additionally, since this involves fraudulent inducement, you may file a criminal complaint under Section 420 IPC (Cheating and Fraud) and Section 406 IPC (Criminal Breach of Trust). If a government official was involved, the Prevention of Corruption Act may also apply. However, as this transaction is linked to an illegal purpose (securing a government job through payment), recovering the amount could be legally complex since courts generally do not enforce illegal contracts. That said, if you can establish that the money was taken under false pretenses or without fulfilling the promised service, you may still have a strong case. Let me know if you need assistance in drafting the legal notice for recovery.
