There is no specific provision in consumer protection act, for legal notice, however, you can simply state your case and call upon builder to refund money, otherwise you'l file a case in consumer court. Supreme court Judgemnt of Justice R. M. Lodha, does't specify about the charges paid to builders, that means it has no retrospective effect. Therefore, that judgement may not support you much. Still on other grounds you can proceed against builder.

You can first write a registered AD letter to the builder. If he returns the money well and good. If he does not reply your letter or gives you a negative reply you can go to the Consumer court. I think Rs.1.5 lakhs is within the jurisdiction of the District Forum. You will have to file at the District Forum at the place the builder has got address or at the place where your flat is.
