Landlord not refunding security deposit

You have not specified what are the terms of  leave and license agreement... wnhy land lord is not refunding the security deposit,  is there any damage clause in the agreement,  is the security deposit is adjustable or is is arefundable security deposit,

what is the reason given by landlord for not returning the security deposit....

once  you clarify in detail  , the solution can be suggested.

As per the terms of Leave and Licence agreement the Landlord is supposed to refund the amount of Security Deposit immediately on handing over the vacant possession. We have already handed over the possession on 31 Jan 2012 and handing over is acknowledged by the manager of the Landlord.

The Landlord is just delaying the repayment. He has not given any technical reason. He gave the reason that he is busy in marriage of his son. And now a days he is not picking up the phone.

first you need to serve a legal notice to the landlord even after that the landlord is not returning the money theb you have to  file a civil case against him for recovery of the money.

Further, it is always advisable to collect the pay order/ demand draft from the land lord simultaneously while handing over the peaceful possession ot the landlord.

Is it possible to file a criminal case against the landlord under IPC 420 or other section?
