Refund of token money for purchasing property


19-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
I was interested in buying a property from an individual seller, so I paid a token money of INR 25000 via IMPS. The seller committed to return the money within 3 days of payment if any issue arises. But due to poor build quality of the house, I didn't bought it. We didn't do any agreement. Now the seller is making excuses in refunding. He is also asking for property verification report which I got for INR 4000 and saying he will not refund unless he has the original report in hand. I cannot trust him as his tone and behaviour has changed drastically and things have become very stressed. He is a doctor and he is threatening me that he won't return my money until I hand him original property verification report at a place decided by him. Please suggest

Hello, You should seek refund through a legal notice from a lawyer failing which a suit can be filed for recovery. The property verification done by you is for your own due diligence and nothing to do with the seller

It seems you are being targeted for your innocence. Things are definitely not what you mistook them for. It's better if you meet in person so that appropriate legal advice can be given to you. Brij Mohan (Adv.)
