Refund of money paid in advance for sale agreement

I paid Rs. 3 lakhs in advance by bearer cheque to my neighbour for purchase his house. The agreement was oral not in written. After 3 months he refused to sale his house and assured refund the money within 6 months but in two years he returned only 90 thousands. The description of advance and refunded money is written on a plain paper signed by both. Now he file a civil suit (easementary right) regarding construction of my own house and saying that until I do not remove the construction and stop the the further construction he will not refund due amount.

My questions are -

1- Can I go to High Court directly for order/direction for refund due amount?

2- Is the only way of remedy is money suit in lower court?

3- Can I lodge FIR and starts criminal proceedings for pressurised him for refund the money?

4- Can both the civil and criminal proceedings be allowed on the same issue separately on the same time?

5- Which is better option for me?

Witness access or the lack of rather, to case details

Is the GPA witness who is to face cross examination last in a civil case presumed to have had access to all the previous cross examinations of witnesses of other parties in the case ?

The GPA's chief examination is prepared by his lawyer who had access to the cross examinations of all the witnesses of the case and in fact he was the cross examiner- but the lawyer did not share details of these cross examinations with the GPA witness or his NRI principal because as he puts it,it will unnecessarily confuse you

Is this something to worry about ?

Belated defense

Ld Counsels,

Prosecution alleged that accused forged certain documents but did not mark those documents during trial. At the fag end of the trial recall petition of prosecution was allowed for marking the disputed document.

While marking the said document can the accused put questions which were not originally put such as suggesting that the said document was infact forged by the witness by taking signatures in blank paper. such question was not put in the earlier cross examination to the same witness. Will such a defense become belated defense of accused.

thanks.

Conveyance of an undivided land

Hello Experts,

On a large piece of land, 24 buildings were constructed on an undivided land commencing from the year 1980 and formed individual societies. Our building is one of them, which is in a very dilapidated condition as its been more than 30 years and its on an undivided land.

In the 1988 4 illegal structures (prayer community hall) have come on the said land. The land owner filed the case against the 4 illegal structures in the HC. Hon'ble HC directed the corporation to demolished with the help of the Police. The matter then reached SC by way of SLP, the SLP was dismissed. Since then no action was taken by the the corporation, the matter is still pending in the HC.

As the undivided land is without Conveyance one of the 24 buildings managed to get the
Deem Conveyance from the District Deputy Registrar. The land owner was called by the DDR, the land owner stated that the land under reference have come up with 4 illegal structures and they have not been regularized yet. This way the land owner strictly objected the application for Deemed Conveyance. However, the DDR issued the certificate of Deemed Conveyance without verifying the facts of the land i.e., Undivided land, CRZ II zone and 4 illegal structures, the best reason are known to them.

Being aggrieved the land owner filed a Writ in the High Court to set aside the order passed by the DDR.

I am very confused as the landowner has made all of us a party to the case.

My questions are:

1) Should we go with the Land Owner or request the HC to grant us conveyance?

2) How legal is the Land Owners stand?

3) Can HC quash the order passed by the DDR in the current situation?

Please Help!!!

Regards,

Rizwan Shaikh

Query about non acceptance of resignation letter

Dear Lawyers Club,
I was working in one of the branches of a pvt. ltd. company as Asst. Accounts Officer till may 2013. This company is engaged in the field of Real Estate and is covered under A P SHOPS AND ESTABLISHMENTS ACT .
I got a better offer in another Pvt. Ltd. company and submitted my resignation letter in June 2013 with one day notice (since in the appointment order given to me it was mentioned as one day notice on either side) to the Personnel Department of Head Office at Hyderabad and waited for acceptance of the same by the company for one month.
Till date the company has not accepted my resignation letter but they have acknowledged having received my resignation letter.
During this one month I pursued my issue with Personnel Department at Head Office and I was told that my letter has been forwarded to General Manager (Accts) for his recommendations of accepting my resignation letter and the issue is pending with him .
In the mean time I joined the new company in July 2013 after informing the Branch authorities as well as the Head Office.
Further I sent another reminder to the Head Office to relieve me of my duties and responsibilities to ensure a smooth exit from the company.
Till date I have not received any communication from the Head Office about my resignation acceptance.
Now my question what is the remedy that is available to me under various labour laws as well as under A P Shops and Establishments Act.
Even I am entitled for Service Compensation and PF Benefits.

Kindly guide me in this regard.
