Dear panel,
My parents purchased flat in Mumbai long ago and had agreement from builder to provide 2 stilt parking spaces. Recently after following up since 5 yrs he agreed to give the parking with condition tht we pay some amount in cash and some by cheque. He put the cheque in bank but same day told bank not to proceed with the chqueue clearance. He then told us a story that cash consists of few old fake notes for which police harassed him. We took those notes and being old were subsequeltly exchanged with the bank by us. Now builder has taken away our part money and has sold the stilt parkings to some other society member saying we delayed payment. We found out that he has sold it to some other member for more money. We do not have evidence of cash paid but have his letter on plain paper in his writing requesting transaction to be carried out for procuring the parking space. Please advise if we can file a case of cheating against the builder.
Thanks,
Raj Singh
