You can file a complaint with the Bar Council of India or the police. You can also file a civil suit against your lawyer for breach of contract and recovery of the amount paid. You may need to provide evidence that you paid the lawyer and that he failed to fulfill his promise.

My wife and I jointly own four agreements for separate units in a single commercial tower, getting a 10% discount for the entire vertical unit. We secured a single loan for all four units.

Could the builder successfully argue that I’m not a ‘consumer’ because I have four separate agreements, despite receiving a discount for the entire vertical unit, making payments as a single entity, and taking a single loan?
