Builder return booking amount But Cheque bounce

Garvm 13 Oct 2014, 15:42

Hello Sir,

We have booked a residential plot in a Developer project located in Bangalore.Booking amt was 5Lac. Lone was not approved by builder side bank. We requested cancel and return booking amt he agreed n provided me post date cheque of 1 n half month later.

But on provided date cheque bounced due to “insufficient fund”.

Now that builder is giving a date for payment and on that date again new date with new excuse.I m roaming behind him from 2 month.

Kindly advice me what legal step i can take against him.

Simply, send a legal notice for the bounce check under Negotiable Instrument Act. Also, file some more sections of cheating, fraud, misappropriation of money under IPC.

First involve police as well to file FIR under money cheating/misappropriation.
