1 week ago
From Mumbai I had made registered agreement of 2 yrs security deposit of 14lakh means heavy deposit as per agreement 13 lakhs given through gpay, RTGS, cheque as per agreement and one lakh as to be given once we get the room. Owner is delaying to handover the flat and still I'm waiting he is not following as per agreement. So what's the procedure shall I go to first police station or else file a case first and how much time does it take to resolve the issue.
A.Dear sir,
You may go to police station and get register a cheating case. You may also file suit for recovery of your money by cancelling such proposed tenancy.

A.Dear Client,
In the given scenario, for breach of contract/agreement, serving a legal notice to the landowner, you can file a civil suit for specific performance against the landowner before the Civil Court seeking appropriate relief in the matter. A dispute between a tenant and landlord is also resolved under the state-specific Rent Control Act under which a Rent Controller or Addl. Rent Controller is appointed to deal with the dispute if arises out of a rent agreement between the parties. So, in the prevailing situation, serving a legal notice to the landlord, you can also file an application explaining your grievance against the landlord before the concerned Rent Controller appointed under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act to resolve the issue amicably. The length of court proceedings varies depending upon the various factors and circumstances, so it is not predictable. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps

A.Dear Client,
If the owner continues to delay or refuses to comply, you may need to explore legal options. Filing a case in court could be the next step to seek resolution and potentially recover your deposit. Before proceeding, consulting with a lawyer who specializes in property or tenancy law would be advisable. They can provide guidance on the specific legal procedures and requirements in Mumbai and assist you in preparing and filing a case.
As for whether to approach the police or file a case first, it often depends on the severity of the situation and the advice of legal counsel. If you believe there is fraudulent intent or criminal activity involved, involving the police might be necessary. However, if it's primarily a breach of contract issue, pursuing legal action through the court system may be more appropriate.
The time it takes to resolve such disputes can vary significantly depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, court procedures, and the responsiveness of the parties involved. Legal proceedings can sometimes take several months or even longer to reach a resolution, but having a clear understanding of your rights and diligently pursuing your case can increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
