You can file a legal notice demanding possession and compensation for delay. If the builder fails to comply, you can file a civil suit in a consumer court or the relevant civil court for specific performance and damages.

Dear Sir, I paid a 1 lakh rupee advance for a group house costing 15 lakhs. However, the builder isn’t following the agreed plan, the design has issues (like sewage pipes in the kitchen), and he’s asking for extra money for basic features. We’ve decided not to proceed because of these problems. Furthermore, we discovered the house is mortgaged, something the builder concealed while securing a housing loan for us. After learning this, I requested my advance back but the builder says he’ll only refund it when someone else buys the property. What can I do to get my money back? Regards, Raghav

I participated in an e-auction for a property with Bank of India, and I was the highest bidder. I deposited 25% of the bidding amount, but then the bank informed me that the borrower filed a case in the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) in Visakhapatnam. The court has stopped the sale but allowed the auction to continue. It’s been almost three months, and there’s no progress. Can you please advise me on how to get my money back?

I paid an advance for a flat but the builder hasn’t given me the allotment letter even after a year. They now want all original documents for a cheque. Is it safe to give them the originals? What if the cheque bounces? Can I file a case with just copies of the documents?

A homebuyer in Delhi took a builder to the consumer court in 2012, seeking a refund. After a long wait, the court ruled in the buyer’s favor on March 14, 2016, ordering the builder to return the money with 12% interest within 45 days. The order also stated that if the builder failed to comply, the buyer could take further action under the Consumer Protection Act. The builder, however, didn’t respond and didn’t appeal the decision by May 16, 2016. The buyer then filed an execution petition on May 16, 2016, with the next hearing scheduled for June 6, 2016. Can the builder still appeal the court’s decision to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) despite the delay, or is the builder now obligated to follow the state court’s order?
