Token Amount not getting refunded by the land lord

4 years ago

Hi All,
I was looking for a flat for rent purpose in Bangalore. I have finalized one under construction 2bh flat for rent in bangalore . It was a G +4 under construction property which is completely owned by the owner. It was under construction flat and owner told me that everything will be ready by first week of March 2020 and based on his confirmation I have given the token amount to book the flat which is located in fourth floor. Now before one week of shifting when I went there I saw that the lift is not yet ready and he told me that it will take another 2-3 months to give the lift and still the bescom (electricity board) approval is pending. Without lift it is not possible for me to shift. Hence I requested him to cancel my booking and return the token amount but he refused to return my token amount. Can you please suggest what legal action I can take against him ? Is it possible to file an FIR against him . I am not having any legal proof but I have transferred the amount online to him, hence I am having that transaction details. Please suggest what can i do in this case . Thanks a lot for your support and guidance in advance.
