1. What is the relationship between you and the co=applicant?

2. Since co-applicant is dead you need NOC of the co-applicant so you buy the property exclusively or the legal heirs of the co-applicant will have to be made party to this purchase deed.

3. On the death of the c0-applicant you alone can not buy this property.

Hi, issue a legal notice and ask the builder to pay the booking amount and if he does not paid the amount you have to approach the consumer forum for recovery of money.

If you are a co-applicant, you may very well make a demand for refund of the payments made on the basis of evidences for the payments made.

If the builder is not agreeing to pay by verbal request, you may issue a legal demand notice giving the details of death of the first applicant, on his non-compliance, you may initiate further legal action through consumer forum as well as through civil court for compensation and recovery with interest.

The builder cannot refuse the refund.

When was the payment made to the builder from your account (first and last payment), if you are one of the co-applicant then the builder must have sent a reminder to make payment to the applicants, ascertain if this was sent.

when was the deal cancelled by builder and when did you learn of this cancellation, further after you came to know of the cancellation when have you submitted the letter along with death certificate of your Grand in laws seeking for reconsideration of the cancellation.

If builder does not revoke the cancellation, you can approach the civil court and seek revocation of the cancellation, contact a local advocate to take this forward

1. It seems that the builder is not refunding the amount which had been paid to him at the time of booking.

2. You may be informed that prior to demand of refund you ought to issue a legal notice for cancellation of agreement/booking, as the case may be, to the builder.

3. You should issue a lawyer's notice to the builder to cancel the agreement and also to seek the refund of the amount.

4. If the builder does not meet your demand then you may file a lawsuit for recovery against him.
