My father gave earnest money of Rs.10 Lacs to Mr. X & Mrs Y (wife of Mr.X) for purchasing their flat and the same had been recorded in the agreement for sale. They were supposed to handed over the flat in 2 months. They got it extended and later on cancelled the deal without mentioning any valid cause. They sent a letter along with a bank draft of Rs. 5 lacs and 2 cheques of Rs. 2.50 lacs each. He submitted all the instruments for clearing but both the cheque got dishonored due to insufficient fund. My father filed a case u/s 138 of N.I.Act. Almost after 2 years, he got the date for "evidence submission".
A. Is there any other act / law, which secure that he can recover the money from them.
B. Is there any civil / crimninal sections, that be binded on them alongwith the existing case.
C. Any other suggestions.
Thanking you in advance.
