Maid agency guy not providing replacement of maid or refund


02-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
A maid agency guy from Delhi contacted my wife regarding full-time maid, he visited our place with a maid in Noida and we have paid him Rs 25000/(after trial in his individual Saving account) for 11 months contract in which 2 replacement was offered and if not able to offer replacement he was supposed to refund the money. After 2 months maid has taken leave for 2-3 days(but didn't come back) so we asked for replacement and It has been more than a month since we asked for replacement, he first kept giving excuses and now stopped picking our calls. What are our legal options here ? FIR should be registered in Noida or Delhi ?

FIR can be registered in Noida, as this was the place of performance of contract. You have the option to file a criminal complaint or go via the civil suit option.. I would recommend proceeding with a criminal case of criminal breach of trust, cheating & fraud (406 & 420 and other similar sections of the IPC).

The best option for you to lodge FIR against the agency and maid both. You can lodge FIR in Delhi and Noida both places as per your convenience. You have some other options also but they are not very effective or relief giving.
