1. In place of taking refund of part of the advance amount paid by you two years back thus relinquishing your right to have the agreed flat, you had an alternative to file a complant case before the local District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum, alleging deficiency in service & unfair business practice claiming the registration of sale deed for the said flat by the builder after collecting the balance amount from you or paying the price of a similar flat in that area, damage & cost,

2. However, now also you can file a complaint case before the said Forum & claim the balance amount with interest, damage & cost.

1) file complaint before consumer forum against the builder for deficiency in service .

2) in said complaint seek refund of balance amount of Rs 1, 37,000 together with interest . also seek compensation from the builder for failure to carry out construction for 2 years and for mental anguish suffered by you .

3) you are also entitled to claim costs from the builder .

4) cases before consumer forum take around 2 years to be disposed of .

5) you can also file criminal of cheating under section 420 of IPC but it would take years to be disposed of
