My cousin take money from me and cheated me. I am harassed now to much


11-Dec-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My cousin took money from me in the name of business from 2016 to 2018. In Dec. 2018, he said that he lost all the money in gambling. The total money given to him was around 34 lacs. As his marriage date was close at that time, his parents given me around 8 lacs to keep matter silent and let marriage happened. But even after 4 years passed including 8 lacs given by his father, he is not giving money properly. Till date total amount recovered from him is 14 lacs. Now I came to know that he cheated some other people also. So, I am finding chances of my money recovery are very less. I want to take legal action against him. I want to know what punishment to him could be given by court in this case. He doesn't have any asset on his name to sell to recover money. The only proof I have is that my bank statement. Does court will ask him to pay me money with interest or he will be sent to jail for this fraud. Please answer my query. His family is saying that he is now in UAE for job. So I am fi

Your query suggests only civil dispute arose between you and your cousin. On promise of repay from him you paid such amount to your cousin. for recovery of money you can file civil Suit against him in the court of law.

Well, you can recover money from him by filing a Civil Case also. Under the CPC, there is a provision, that, if he would not be able to pay your money, then, Court will recover your money for you by putting him in Civil Prison or by selling his Properties through auction.
