Through Advocate.

This is my response to you:

1. Since the project is not RERA registered and also since it is commercial office therefore established authorities cannot help you;

2. You also cannot file a complaint to the consumer court;

3. You will have to file a suit for recovery in the civil court;

4. If the jurisdiction permits then approach the High Court;

5. Before approaching court try methods like amicable settlement or send legal notice;

6. If he still does not refund file a police complaint for cheating against him.

Hi

1) It is more than 5 years since you have paid monies and the developer has not handed over possession.

2) Your legal grievance would fall under

a) Deficiency of service under Consumer protection act and

b) non performance under specific relief act.

3) Assuming during these 5 years, you have repeatedly requested the builder to handover possession, you should now

i) Issue legal notice to the builder

ii asking him to register the sale deed and also handover possession within 30 days.

iii) Claiming interest for delayed possession(as per agreement of sale)

4) If the builder is not complying with the terms of the legal notice, depending on the sale value of your agreement you can approach the appropriate Consumer forum

a) District Forum (up to 20 lakh)

b) State(20 lakh to 1 crore)

c) NCDRC(above 1 crore))

.

5) Alternatively you can approach the civil courts under specific relief act and claim registration of sale deed and possession.

6) I would recommend approaching the consumer forum as the best option as it is cheaper and process is quite straight forward, but very recently civil courts at Noida have been fast tracking realty related cases , (there are huge number of realty cases at Noida), you should consider either of the options

Hope this information is useful.

You can simply send him a legal notice claiming your refund for the said property along with interest and after that

you can file a complaint before the consumer court or can even file a Civil case for recovery of your money and along with that you can also file a police complaint against him for forgery and cheating.

1. File a grievance petition with the Local Consumer Court, with all the relevant documentary evidences, and claim refund and 18% interest thereon, and damages /compensation, for the physical and mental harassment.

2. There is no other simpler and positive action besides the above option. ALSO file complaint before the local RERA authority and the Economic Offences Wing, for the cheating & misrepresentation etc....

Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal

1. Your query is not clear .

2. What is your dispute? if he has sold the space then you do you want to get your money back?

3. If he has not delivered the possession as yet or even after this he has refused to register the sale deed then you can file case before the consumer forum.

Firstly, you should serve a legal notice to the Builder asking him to refund the entire amount as the construction is still not complete after the lapse of 5 years after receiving complete sale consideration for the same. You should also demand interest for the period of delay and compensation in the said notice.

If the Builder fails to repay te entire amount within 15 days opposite of the legal notice, you can file a complaint against the Builder in consumer forum for deficiency of services and unfair trade practices adopted by the Builder wearing you can also claim litigation expenses

as well as interest till the time of payment and compensation from the builder.

When you have already purchased the same then there is no quiestion of getting the money back as you must have bought it with your free will and consent.

But yes, if there was something which have been concealed to you then you may be able tot get your money back for sure otherwise it is difficult to get the same back.

You have to issue a legal notice and to file petition before consumer forum for compensation as well as refund of your money which is paid by you . All the best.

MAKE A PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION AND MADE CONSOMER COMPLAINT IN THE CONSUMER FORUM

Dear Concerned,

You would need to proceed immediately by sending a legal notice for cancellation and seeking refund of money followed by a recovery suit at the Gautambudhnagar courts.

Best of luck

Immediately send a legal notice to this builder/developer and seek refund of your deposit.

In case the legal notice is not complied with, file a case in RERA/Consumer Forum.

You can proceed to issue a legal notice and then proceed to file the complaint before the consumer court in Noida as the property is situated there only.

This process is economical and fast as well

If the property in question was sold to you by a registered sale deed, then you cannot claim it back.

However if it was sold just like that, then you may be having the documentary evidences for having paid the amount,

you may issue a legal notice and recover the amount legally by filing a recovery suit.

You may revert with more details for a proper opinion.

you can approach consumer forum.
