Refund for cancellation of banquet hall

Sanjana (Querist) 04 February 2020 This query is : Resolved
I made a booking in a banquet hall for a engagement ceremony on 24-2-2019 due to sudden death of my grandmother i had to call off the event. I informed the management 20 days ahead. Intially on approaching them they spoke about refund,they made me wait for a year the manager now says he can't refund back. Moreover the management dint issue me orginal bill, they blame me saying u requested us not to provide u the bill as it saves ur tax. Can i file a case n approach the district forum

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.
