I purchased a plot from a builder last year, but the project hasn’t even begun. I’ve requested to cancel the purchase and get a refund, but the builder is not giving me a definite timeline. I need the refund to close my home loan. What legal steps can I take against the builder?

You can issue a legal notice to the builder demanding a refund within a reasonable timeframe. If the builder fails to respond or comply, you can file a consumer complaint under the Consumer Protection Act or a civil suit for specific performance and compensation for the delay.

I bought a plot in an approved layout and got a sale deed. But later, the layout plan was changed without my knowledge. Now, the builder is refusing possession, claiming this change as the reason. Even though he controls the entire layout, what legal action should I take? Should I file a consumer complaint, a civil suit, or a criminal case? My plot is currently valued at ₹8 lakh by the government. If I claim ₹15 lakh for mental harassment, the total goes above ₹24 lakh. Can I file my case directly in the state consumer commission?

I hired a web development agency from Gurgaon through Freelancer.com to build my website. I paid them half the fees upfront, but they haven’t delivered on their promise. Freelancer.com’s dispute resolution team ruled in my favor, confirming the agency didn’t complete the work. All the website files are on their server, and they’re refusing to release them unless I pay the remaining half. The agency initially said they’d finish the project in a week or two, but it’s been almost eight months! I’m worried that even if I pay the remaining amount, they won’t complete the work. What can I do in this situation?
