What should be done if the developer doesn’t repay the money back?
Question asked by Shahul Hameed . A from Kuwait:
Dear Sir/Madam ,
I have taken your email ID from one of legal help blogs. I am a NRI working in Kuwait. I have paid around 6 Lakhs to one Builder in Bangalore for a particular project. No that project did not take place and the builder is not returning the money. If I call him he always asks for 2 weeks time. How do I get money back?
Thanks in Advance for your help.

You should immediately approach the consumer court (after sending a notice) and demand your money back along with interest due to deficiency in service.Vatsala

Hi , I have a similar issue. I live in USA. The builder is Vancouver based wanting to build in Bangalore. What consumer court should I approach?

The contract to sell or purchase immovable property is a personal contract and is not bound by jurisdiction of the property. It is based on private international law. You should examine the contract to see if any court has been named for solving disputes. Otherwise the place where the builder has his registered office will have jurisdiction.
