Can one file civil + criminal case in same matter?

 I had paid for and purchased a flat from Chowgule Real Estate P. Ltd., Panjim, Goa.  Since there were a number of defects-deficiencies that included non-execution of Sale Deed, sale of area in excess of what is in sanctioned plans, I had file a case in the State Consumer Commission, where the matter is pending in its final satges of written arguements.

Is it legally permissable for me to file a criminal case also (so both civil + criminal cases exist simultaneously) on those issues that are criminal in nature?  If yes, is there some case law available?

Thank you.

Definitely  you  can  file  both  Civil  &  Criminal   case. Consult  u'r   Lawyer   regarding    the  case  &   file   in  the   appropriate    Courts.

hi there, One cannot file a suit of same cause of action in two different petitions. The doctrine of RESJUDICATA would be attracted and the petition would be rejected.

Yes Dear, You can file & execute another case against the Builder.  It depends what sort of action you are demanding { compensation/refund/punishment etc }   consult your advocate on its implementation norms & nature.
