This query is : Resolved
I was to get a flat from the builder after a wait of 15 years
The builder got the OC, and when I was about to get the flat, he went into liquidation under IBC
Thereafter, the builder under the pressure of Interim resolution professional took an affidavit from me & all that I will not file any case for any type of dues. where as the builder was to give me my delay penalty as per agreement of BBA.
Now, since I have got the flat and registry done, can I now go to the court and file a case, saying that affidavit was taken under Coercion or threat of not giving possession till I give affidavit?

You can very well make a claim within three years from the date of making this affidavit for the same reasons what you have stated here.

Such affidavits are voidable, if not void.

It is better to consult a local prudent lawyer for proper appreciation of facts, professional advise and necessary proceeding
