Dear Sir, I am an architect practicing in Bangalore. I was doing a house for a couple from delhi in bangalore. We have an agreement on letterhead and received an advance. We worked for four months preapring the design, gettting the drawings sanctioned, and getting tenders, finalisation with contractors complete, ready to start work at site. Then they call me to tell me that they have terminated the agreement since they have abandoned the project. They promise to pay for the stages met. But once I sent them the bill they refused to do so. We a small freelance firm and cannot take this liability. We have a copy of signed agreement, a copy of a signed sanction drawings and copy of signed contract document of the contractor. Is there a legal chance of pursuing it it court? Kindly let me know. Thank you

Yes you could file a suit for recovery of money. That apart you could also file criminal cases like fraud and cheating to keep them under pressure.
