Builder refusing to give down payment.

Hi,

Its been 1yr. i made booking payment of rs.2.5 lacs to builder. I made cash payment to builder as he was having some urgent need of money so requested me to pay cash. I know i made a big mistake here. I should not believe person blindly. However we have notary agreement on a stamp paper that i made him payment of rs.2.5 lacs against flat purchase which contains photos of builder duly signed and accepted by both of us.

He was supposed to deliver me the possession after 1 yr but still he not started the work. I am fed now i want to get back my money. Just i want to know whether notary is inforceable by law. If not then why gvt. allow to issue notarty to public.

Please help me I am so worried.

Thanks.

If it is not an agreement, it may not stand ground to enforce the same.  Instead you can use it as documentary evidence to file a suit against him for recovery of money, before that issue him with a legal notice demanding the return of money paid by you and then for his non-compliance you may proceed to sue him.
