Recovery of advance money paid after the cancellation of deal


15-Sep-2023 (In Recovery Law)
I came across a manufacturer via indimart.com he is based at Delhi and I'm from Bareilly, uttar pradesh. We made a deal for 500 ltr BMC costing 140000rs and I paid him 15000rs as token to start his work. In the whole conversation he keeps telling me that that he has a workshop at samay pur badli and asked me that he will take me there before starting work as he isn't well and can't travel to his workshop. And then he mailed me asking for 50% advance payment but he didn't mentioned the Adress of his workshop, that was really unusual and fishy. So I decided to meet him and I stipulated that I'll pay the advance 50% amount after seeing his workshop and some of his specimen work, after which he started fighting and said he can't take me to work shop and cancels the deal. As, I was expecting that I recorded the whole conversation in my phone in audio formats. He was saying that he will return my advance but it's been days he hasn't returned any money. Help me out with the legal way

If you have paid the advance by cheque, then you can file a police complaint against the man to whom you have given the said amount. You will be having the Complete details of the communication between you and him as well. It is a clear case of cheating.

Since the contract has been repudiated by him even before you two entered the deal, you should send him a legal notice seeking full refund from him together with interest. Incase this helps to ventilate your grievance, you'll have to file an appropriate Civil/criminal case against him.
