dear experts,pl advise, my builder has bounced a check of x amount, i filed the case, in in sept2011, there after the builder was summoned to court, here he has agreed in front of the magistrate that he owes me the money and will pay the said X amount, and a written understanding was signed by both the parties as an how the builder will pay the dues,in installments , the judge asked both to go for mediation, from dec 2011, till may 2012 , the builder payed 20%, in small bits and amounts, after that he has stopped paying me, and avoided to be present on all the dates of mediation till nov2012, the mediation judge diverted the case back to the main court.
Right from dec2012, till date (i,e alomost 10 dates)the builder is not bothered regarding the payments and said saying do what ever you want, nor does he attended the court, the Judge told us to file an affidevite, which was done instantly. but till date nothing has happened and the warrent hasnt be issued, instead the judge read all my documents, and so my credentials, and instead off giving orders to issue a warrant asked his bhavsar(pueon), to call his lawyer name, fortunatly the lawyer was there, he asked for new date, next month.june 2013.
i wish to know what will be the next course of action, in my case, what if the builder attends,or if he neglects.
what will be the punishment as it is bailable, or will i get my money back or it is as good as a lost case.or there are chances getting the amount.
please advice as my advocates are not guiding me properly. they are saying lets wait and watch, what happens,,,,,
