Quick Summary

A person cancelled a banquet hall booking for an engagement ceremony due to a family bereavement, informing the venue 20 days in advance. After a year of waiting, the management refused a refund and also failed to provide an original bill, claiming the user requested no bill to save tax. While legal recourse is challenging without written documentation, options include sending a legal notice, filing a police complaint for cheating, or pursuing a case in the consumer court, which is still within the limitation period.

Dear querist,

If you have paid amount by cheque then there is some hope to receive back amount. You can send legal notice and file police complaint in local police station with the help of advocate.

As there is nothing in writing so the possibility of refund by way of legal way is remote, however, police pressure can definitely earn the rewards. Lodge FIR/complaint cleverly drafted through your lawyer.

1. well advised by the experts
2. since the matter pertains to one year earlier, I doubt the police will register the FIR,
3. you can serve a legal notice through a lawyer

issue legal notice, then file suit for recovery of money.
also, you can register FIR for cheating.

How much money is involved in booking of banquet hall ?
Whether the management issued any receipt for the amount paid ?
What are the terms and conditions governing the subject matter ?
It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents, professional guidance and proceeding if required.

The author has already clarified that nothing is in writing so there is no use to put the same question before him.
