Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Why did the contractor did not complete works?

You can file both kind of cases and before a consumer action issue a lawyer notice as your have paid 786 thousand rupees to the contractor and did not get the promised apartment or money with interest back.

Breach or non-performance of an agreement or contract does not become an offence ipso facto and essential ingredients of offence must be present apart from such breach or non-performance.

If an act or omission is an offence as also a civil wrong, then both the actions can be initiated.

I doubt whether a breach of contract by a construction contractor would come within the perview of consumer forum. However, a civil suit is definitely maintainable.

you can file the suit for specific performance against the builder asking him to complete the construction as per the agreement/contract. in case the work cannot be completed et al, you may ask for an alternate prayer for recovery of your amount with interest, damages and compensation.

I agree with Mr.Seshadri,
