Defrauding/Cheating on Property Purchase

I am a British citizen of Indian origin. I went into an agreement to sell my family house in Delhi and received token money/biyana. I asked my relative “A” to act as my agent to find my house in Noida, which he dealt with the help of his friend and property dealer “B”. On asking for his commission, he said it would be a “cup of tea”.

In August 2008, I agreed to buy a property in Noida, through A and B, and verbally agreed the price “X” and biyana in the sum of “Y”. I left for the UK on the same day. The next day, A and B sent 2 men to get the cash Y from my brother who rang A who confirmed to give the sum Y and promised to send the written agreement the next day. My brother followed these instructions. The deal was to complete on 30 Oct 2008.

I kept asking A to give the written agreement to me but he always postponed on some pretence, until recently. Following this, due to the credit crunch, my buyer could not come up with remaining consideration to complete the deal. As a result, I am also unable to complete the deal on the property in Noida.

I was still trying to get a written agreement from A at this time. He said that this agreement is in “safe keeping” with his friend B and that if I insisted on getting this he would not help me in this matter any more.

Later, A said that I had to pay at least 4 times Y to get the written agreement. He also said that he had to pay several Lacs from his pocket to get the extension done in order to complete the deal. With much agro, he gave me a photocopy of the agreement in which the property was not bought in my name but in the name of B (property dealer). I was never told about this. Also, the purchase price on the agreement was almost 30 Lacs less than agreed with me (30 Lacs less than X). The token money, however, was 51,000 Rs more than agreed (51,000 Rs more than Y).

I feel that A and B have been co-conspirators in cheating and defrauding me. I live in the UK. What should I do?

our client trapped into the “ Electricity theft “ and received the notice from the Electricity Board to pay immediately Rs. 35,739.70 under Electricity Act 2003 u/s. 135.
The fact of the matter is that our client has informed by a written request to the electricity Board on 21/10/2008 to replace the meter immediately as gas was cming out because of loose connection and seal was broken by our client for safety on 20/10/2008 and paid Rs. 70=00 as a meter repair charges and hving receipt for the same. No action has been taken so far. Our client has paid rs. 140=00 as a energy charges on 03/04/2009.

A long pending Muslim partition suit,

A Interlocutary application is pending in the lower court without any order from past 1.5 years, Can we bypass this lower court without any orders being passed or our application rejected,

Can we file a writ petition in high court to dispose off our IA.

Or can we directly approach high court...

Thanks
