A joint family entered into a development agreement with a builder, who subsequently took a loan against the property and allegedly defrauded both the family and the bank. A civil suit has been filed. Now, one family member wishes to settle their share, but the matter is still before the court. The advice given is to consult with your advocate, as they can provide the best guidance given the sub-judice nature of the case. It's suggested to explore options with your lawyer, including potentially filing a criminal complaint for cheating, and to consider waiting for the court's outcome for a more beneficial settlement for all involved parties.
