Case of cheating

(Querist) 15 December 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir,
I had made an agreement with another person to buy a property. Agreement was made on 26/11/2007 by paying 1 lakh advance. As per the agreement, the property was handed over to my possession from the day of the agreement. Due to certain delay, the registration could not happen and the agreement was renewed from time to time by adding note at the end of the document and finally the property was registered on 8/6/2009. But during this period, the seller transferred the water pump set connection (Not the pump set itself, but only electrical connection to that) to another property that he owns, without my knowledge. So he basically cheated me though he gave the possession of the land to me. Also in sale deed, he clearly stated that pump set connection is given to me (Though RR number was not specified).

So I went to take legal help and appointed one layer. He sent legal notice on 21/01/2010 to reinstate the connection and seller replied that he will not agree for this.

Subsequently criminal suite was filed (I am not sure why layer went for criminal suit instead civil) and court rejected the case just last week (Yet to get the order copy and hence reason is not known).

Now my question is:
Can I file a civil suit now (I do not get anything from criminal suit. So civil is better I thought)? What is the time limit for filing the civil suit? Is it from the date of sending legal notice to the seller or is it from the date of the offense?

Thanks and Regards,
