Bank check issued to fraud contractor instead of developer what to do


30-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
I have bought a apartment but i figured out that my bank has issue the check in the name of contractor and now the building owner/land owner is complaining that loan money was not transferred to his account. The land owner came and registered the flat in my name. Now how can i seek the correction in the bank. Now bank denies that they wont do such things but how can i proceed with bank and seek the money to be taken back from the fraud contractor who took the money and flew off. What all risks i do face in such scenario's i ask bank to correct its mistake. Also is there a chance that i can apply any law on the bank and ask them to rectify the mistake and pay me the penalty for doing this mistake.

Bank has to release the loan amount to any one to whom you give authorisation in writing. if they have released it to some one else you are not liable. but how the flat owner registered flat to you without taking bank`s demand draft ?
