On December 2021, I saw a land to buy and after that the person who was selling the property but he was not the owner, he was a property broker who had an agreement with the owner that he would sell the land. After knowing this, my mother paid Rs. 50000 to that person in cash on the same day Then on his request, within a few days in January 2022 my mother gave 4 lakhs in his account through RTGS, then on his request in September, I received money from my mum to my account after that I gave 20,000 more to his son account through UPI. After that, I asked him to get that property registered to me. He kept making excuses and then I did not get that property, then I told him in September 2023 that I do not want that land after lot of excuses he give me cheque on March 2024 for the amount of 470000 with post dated 10 may 2024 in his own handwriting for my mother name that is received my me. I submit that cheque to bank on 10 may 2024 and that check is bounced on 14 May 2024 with the return memo saying insufficient balance
Now question arise in my mind
1. Is he also liable to pay last 20000 rupees which is sent by me to his son account through upi to my mother (can my mother also legally claimed that amount if her name on the check but payment is done by me)
2. And now what I have to do legally to get that money recovered who can legally file that case if my mother name is on the check two payment done by my mother but last payment done by Me
3. What is all legal remedy for me apart from cheque bounce case ,is there any other scenario for claiming that money legally
