Dear Sir,
It is clear cheating case, firstly because they knowingly proposed project under GREEN ZONE, secondly they are not refunding the amount, thirdly they ought have arranged for alternative project and offered such flats to the willing subscribers. You may lodge police or private complaint and also bring civil suit but civil suit is very expensive.
For more details and suggestions, please call me and get issue a legal notice.
1) Make the complaint in consumer forum of your city area and mentioned all details in it, from day one till cancellation of projects and than builder's commitment come today come tomorrow etc etc., and side by side one complaint in RERA office.
File complaint against builder before consumer forum and seek orders to direct builder to refund your money with interest
2) also claim litigation costs and compensation for mental torture undergone by you
3) you can also file complaint of cheating against builder fir failure to refund your money
All of you 5should send a notice to him to pay the entire amount along with the interest with in sepecific time.
In case of failure a civil money suit will be filed for the recovery of the amount , interest and legal expenses.
Send a legal notice seeking immediate release of your refund.
If they do not pay any heed to your legal notice, file a Complaint against them before RERA/consumer forum.
Hi,
You send the legal demand notice for returning the amount within 15 days and if that is not complied file the civil as well as criminal cases against them.
If the builder failed to keep up his promise to refund the booking amount then you may have to initiate legal action agaisnt him by first issuing him a legal demand notice.
After that you can either drag him to consumer forum for recovery and compensation due to the deficiency in service or can file a money recovery summary suit in the civil court.
You may consult an advocate in the local and initiate steps accordingly.
Dear Client,
File FIR u/s 420, 406 IPC.
Another option consumer claim.
Hello,
You may file a complaint before the RERA.
This will be the most appropriate remedy for you at this juncture.
