Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

On 01.03.2007 we had filed a complaint before the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, W.B against a Builder for failing to transfer the title of a ready independent house sold by them to us. The State Commission passed an order on 29.02.2009 directing the Builder to transfer & register the property in our favour and also to pay us compensation & costs. The Builder appealed against the order in NCDRC. However, we have subsequently come across documents showing that on 16.04.2008 the Builder had sold and given possession of the said property to a 3rd party for a higher price. The said property was sold while the matter was sub-judice and the Builder failed to disclose the material facts during subsequent hearings which continued for almost on more year. In view of the situation, even if we successfully oppose the appeal filed by the Builder, we fail to recover our property! What is the best course of action we can take. The State Commission suggests filing a criminal case. Can we do this and if so, under which IPC sections? Can we inform NCDRC of the developments for quashing the appeal?
