I understand your distressing situation. You've been wrongfully penalized due to miscommunication and lack of clarity from the builder's side. Here are your legal options:
# Legal Options
1. *File a Consumer Complaint*: Approach the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum (CDRF) or the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) to file a complaint against the builder. You can claim compensation for mental harassment, refund of the amount paid, and completion of the unit as per the original agreement.
2. *Send a Legal Notice*: Serve a legal notice to the builder, highlighting the miscommunication, lack of reminders, and wrongful cancellation of your unit. Demand revocation of the cancellation and completion of the unit as per the original agreement.
3. *File a Suit for Specific Performance*: If the builder refuses to revoke the cancellation, file a suit for specific performance in a civil court. This suit will compel the builder to complete the unit as per the original agreement.
4. *Claim Damages*: In addition to seeking specific performance, you can also claim damages for mental harassment, loss of reputation, and other consequential losses.
# Essential Documents
1. *Communication Records*: Gather all communication records, including emails, messages, and phone call records, to demonstrate the miscommunication and lack of reminders from the builder's side.
2. *Payment Records*: Collect all payment records, including receipts and bank statements, to show that you had made the necessary payments and were not intentionally withholding payment.
3. *Agreement and Brochure*: Keep a copy of the original agreement, brochure, and any other promotional materials to demonstrate the builder's obligations and promises.
4. *Proof of Mental Harassment*: Document any evidence of mental harassment, such as medical records, counseling sessions, or witness statements.
# Next Steps
1. *Consult a Lawyer*: Engage a lawyer who specializes in consumer law, real estate, and contract law to guide you through the process.
2. *Gather Evidence*: Collect all relevant documents and evidence to support your case.
3. *Send a Legal Notice*: Serve a legal notice to the builder, demanding revocation of the cancellation and completion of the unit as per the original agreement.
4. *Prepare for Litigation*: Be prepared to file a consumer complaint or a suit for specific performance if the builder refuses to revoke the cancellation.
