1) it is necessary to peruse your agreement with builder

2) was there a clause in the contract that in event of breach of contract you could encash the bank guarantee of builder?

3) if builder has illegally sold your portion of flats you should have filed suit to direct builder to vacate portion of your share of flats and for damages for loss suffered by you

4) since the case is already sub judice you will have to wait for suit filed by you to be disposed of

5) it is necessary to peruse reliefs claimed by you in the suit

6) you must have also filed police complaint of cheating , criminal breach of trust against builder

You have to put your legs to shoo of agreement and fight based up on the recitals in the agreements .In your case civil suit is pending before the court, so approaching consumer court is not favorable one for damages. You have to file interim application for getting permission for making compound wall and further constructions if needed. What are 50% offered from your side in the agreement?

I am not sure why for the last 12 years you have not been ding much , may be, due to lack of proper legal advice.

The criminal case can be expedited through high court.

To get relief about your allotment in the proeprty filing case om consumer forum would have been most appropriate.

If you come with all relevant papers I may help you further in this issue.

It appears that yo have filed an injunction suit.

You should have filed an ejection suit to eject the builder occupying the portion of property belonged/allotted to you .

There should have been a specific performance suit too or at least a prayer to that effect in the same suit on the basis of the agreement or seeking compensation as per the terms and conditions of the contract

A consumer grievance case could have been filed long back dragging him to consumer forum seeking relief and suitable compensation.

The injunction obtained by him need to be vacated and permission sought before court to complete the incomplete construction owing to the danger of exposure to many calamities including trespass.

The delay is inordinate, you should have followed it up with your advocate properly

More proper opinions can be rendered after knowing the details of the cases filed/pending

Since the POA has been revoked a suit for recovery of possession may be filed against him to recover the possession of the properties in his possession. If the injunction order passed by the court has been breached then contempt of court proceedings may be initiated against him.Consult a lawyer with a certified copy of the decree passed by the civil court in the title suit to chart out your further recourse.
