1. Since you have a written contract with him he can be made liable to honour his contractual obligations.

2. Even if the property is in the name of your mother-in-law you can sue the contractor for breach of contract to seek damages.

3. If he claims he has spent more than what has been paid to him then he has to bring evidence to this end.

4. You stand a good chance to recover your money.

First of all let me tell you that the agreement which you have does not amount to much unless it is a registered onealthough it is the only document you have which says that a house has to be constructed. You have audio recordings etc. But the agreement has to be shown in order to get adequate Relief.

All the receipts of the material used etc have to be put before the court.

A complaint before the state consumer redressal forum us maintainable and should be filed.

Threatening a person is an offence and hence is not advisable. He would lodge false cases against you of criminal intimidation etc.

You can file a complaint on behalf of your mil. Engage a good lawyer and provode him with all the details etc.

Regards
