Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Payment of cash

Dear sirs,

This relates to a case in which i have purchased a house on agreement of sale for Rs 18,00,000. An advance of Rs 1,00,000 was paid by cheque and Rs 5,00,000 was paid by cash for which no receipt was taken but was taken as a loan by the seller till my bank loan was sanctioned. To satisfy me he (the seller) gave me a cheque of Rs 6,00,000. Now he is not ready to vacate the house nor pay the amount and more over the cheque turned out to be of a bank from which his account was terminated long ago.

1. Should I deposit the cheque and file a case against him.

2. Can I file a suit to get the house

3. What is natural justice in this case.

Re: Payment of cash

You can do Sr.Nos.1 and 2.

In view of express written contract, natural justice will be a relevant factor mostly during interim stages like injunction.

You may deposit the cheque and proceed for the legal action by filing a suit for specific perfomance on the basis of the agreement. Please consult a local lawyer.
