I bought a flat from a woman and we signed a legally binding agreement. Now, she’s backing out of the deal and won’t return my 15 lakh rupees! The agreement states the registration deadline was June 15th, 2014. What can I do to get my money back and enforce the sale?

You can file a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking specific performance of the agreement compelling her to sell the flat and/or damages for breach of contract. You can also claim compensation for the 15 lakh rupees paid, along with interest. As the agreement deadline for registration was June 15, 2014, it’s crucial to file the lawsuit within the applicable limitation period.
