Recovery of advance money

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 February 2010 This query is : Resolved
One Mr. A wanted to buy land, and has given 1lakh rupees through cheque to the builder B, as advance. After verifying the papers, he has decided not to go ahead.There was no agreement to that effect. The builder is not ready to return the amount now. What are the remedies available to Mr.A? Can he file a consumer case against the builder?
