Dear all
I am an NRI in UAE. In 2012 I had built a house for my personnel use in India. On completion of the work I had a dispute with the contractor and I did not approve his claim for extra works around 5.5lakhs. I had paid hin 32 lakhs. This issue was in the local police station and the contractor had given in writing that he will settle the issue through court. But nothing he did.
But now,
He has sent a lawyer from UAE and has given a complaint against me in UAE court. I really dont know is it possible to run the case here in UAE for a dispute which happened in India? And if I accept the case as I am present I can attend the proceedings but what about the contractor, will he be here in UAE? or his representatives is enough?
I am really confused, please experts in this forum can you please describe me a picture of how this will turn out.
Thanks and regards
SK
