The builder has sold the same flat 303 to another one person. But now the builder had sold the said plot to third party.Alogwith me two my friends are also cheated by the same builder.
I believe there is already a police case going on.Join forces with other people who have been cheated.Form an association and then fight the battle.Go to police stations and find out who are other people like you and join forces with them.
