Please note the sequence of events with respect to a Sale Deed executed:
- Executed Sale Deed with a builder in 2012.
- Builder paid partly by Demard Draft and rest in three post-dated cheques.
- All three post-dated cheques were not honoured.
- FIR lodged in 2015 was reverted citing it as a court matter
- Civil suit filed in 2015, case and negotiations still on.
My lawyer says the builder is cornered and need to give him time to arrange for money.
The builder says the lawyer is asking for a hefty sum from them and ready to settle the matter out of court by paying the balance amount and promised flat.
Whom should I belive? What should I do? How can the matter be sorted out of court? How to ensure that I am not cheated again?
