You have the legal remedy to file a lawsuit against him to seek court's directions to him to honour the agreement by executing the sale deed, but you require the residential or office address of this man to enable the court to issue summons to him. So firstly find out his address. A criminal complaint for cheating can also be filed against him which can result in him being located by the police. Thereafter, you will be able to proceed against him in the civil court.
Hi, It is clear case cheating so you can lodge a police complaint for cheating.
2. Thereafter it is a case of deficiency of services so you can file a Consumer Complaint in the court for refund of the entire money paid by you.
First approach the local police with a complaint about this cheating and fraudulent activity of the builder
If the police is not effective and you dont find any respite from police, you may file a private complaint under section 156(3) before the judicial magistrate court seeking direction to concerned police to investigate and book the culprit under appropriate law.
