Private builder not completing the projects

Dear Sir

Many people have purchased apartments/villas from a private builder and of late understood that the builder was not keeping his words. It appears that the project was conceived without the sanctions of various govt authorities. The builder had completed many villas within the same project but due to some stop memo and fund constraints he was not completing the projects. These asides, he is under conditional bail right now.

People who have invested their hard earned money for the past more than 4 years without any return till now. Also many victims from abroad had approached for CBI enquiry as well as filed writ against the builder. The builder has lots of property which he is unable to sell due to attachments and so on. The case is at Trichur district in Kerala.

Can anyone help with the action to be initiated against such fraudulent builders please?. Can all get back their entire money with compensation?. What are the legal remedies available in such cases?. Is there any additional information required?. Case already filed in the high court by many people.


The builder has committed offences such as 406 (Criminal breach of trust), 420 (Cheating), 120(B) Criminal Conspiracy, 463 (Fraud/Forgery) and criminal misappropriation etc etc under various IPC sections.

Kindly let me know how could the victims avail the service of a lawyer from your esteemed organisation.


With Regards

JP
