I booked 3 plots in two projects of M-Tech developer/Builder in NCR region.
Builder/developer did not get the land from authorities/government. So the projects could not take off at all.
Builder/developer did not refund the money initially. Later cheques were issued which bounced. So far no complaint has been filed and I have been trying verbally to get the money since about an year or so. But no progress.
* What's the quickest course of action to get the refund?
* Should I file case in consumer court or criminal court or both or any other court? Which one is quickest?
* Do I need to file complaint with police first?
* What's the process in general for such matters?

He definitely has the money because land was not sactioned by authorities then how can he keep my money? What sort of arguments he can use in his favour?

Thanks.

i have booked a plot with mtech in their nirvana project almost 3 years back. the compny never had the land on which they had taken the booking money. i have personally visited their office in ashram but everytrime i was give some date or the other. now i have stopped visitinang their office bcoz there is no use.
