Hi, need your support on below questions -

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether a victim can implead themselves as a complainant in an existing criminal case filed by other buyers against a promoter. While the general advice suggests that joining an existing case as a complainant might not be permitted, victims are advised to consider filing a separate criminal complaint or FIR to address their specific grievances. The consensus is that each victim typically needs to pursue their own legal action, even if the underlying issue is the same.

No, you may have to file a separate case to get your grievances redressed.

2. You also lodge a separate criminal complaint against him from your side.

Although grievance to pending complaint / FIR case may be common with complainant, yet it cannot permit some other complainant(s) to be included / joining as another complainant in the case.

Apply to concerned court and try your luck.
