I have given Rs. 2 Lacs to a builder as booking amount for a apartment in August 2014. Further to this in September 2014 i gave another 13 lakhs as advance towards signinging of sale agreement.
However, i could not arrange balance amount and sale agreement was never signed.
All amounts were paid is cheque.Also, the project is not even 50% completed till date which was supposed to happen in 2016.
I have been asking builder to refund my money that too without interest. But still he has not refunded.
Is there any legal route left to recover money as i dont have any sale agreement but the money was paid in cheque? Can i file police case against the builder.
Kindly advice.
