  1. After filing complain for compensation the RERA authority not follows the binding law and enforces unethical practice by non filing facts in ROZNAMA, in the presence of single party on hearings repeatedly, and instead to passed any offensive order enforced the complainer to withdraw on verbal instruction without issue any authenticate order, and put the issue through R.T.I and higher authority too. Non of the responsible Coram resolve the issue and not comply the R.T.I quarry after long due.

Builder was not able to construct the building as per his schedule discussed during the booking time nor giving the token amount return to us. After so many follow up, builder given two cheques of amount INR 2.5 Lakhs & INR 1.75 Lakhs. One cheque of INR 2.5 Lakhs is cleared. But second cheque of INR 1.75 not cleared nor the builder ready to pay the second cheque amount. I had a notary agreement from builder to pay the full amount of INR 4.25 Whereas he paid me only INR 2.5 Lakhs. During all these follow up we came to know that the builder was very very fraudy in nature, he had criminal background too & returned from central jail two times against the one home selling to two or more buyer. He made a fraud of INR 30.0 Crores recently & was in central jail in Nashik for 4 to 5 months between June 2017 to Dec 2017. I had a cheque & notary proof against him, suggest me to how to return my money from builder. In court already 10 to 12 cases are running against the builder since he had given the notary & cheques to other buyers also. Is any guaranteed solution to bring my money from builder soonest possible.

  7. Hi Sir,
    I have booked a Flat in Amrapali Centurian Park Terrece Homes in year 2011. I had paid first two installments in same year 2011. At the time of bank loan Amrapali officials refused to provide some documents which were required from DHFL for loan dispersal. Thereafter I have filed a case in consumer court at Karkardooma against Amrapali in year 2013.
    After so many hearings my case is not yet reached to any results because the lawyers of Amrapali builders are not appearing before the court. Now its 2019 and have heard so many news about the builder but does not know about my booked flat. Can I get my money back ? Pls advise asap
