The client is an overseas Pakistani seeking to initiate a civil suit for recovery of money arising out of a failed property transaction.
In 2021, the client paid a substantial amount to the opposite party (he is my maternal uncle) in connection with the purchase/investment of a commercial plot. The payments were made through verifiable banking channels directly into the opposite party’s bank account. He bought a plot on my name worth of 5 lacs and took money from me 21 lacs.
Subsequently, the opposite party:
Changed his residential address.
Avoided receiving legal notices
Refused service of notice through Pakistan Post
Adopted evasive conduct indicating deliberate intent to delay and frustrate recovery
The client has already issued two legal notices, which the opposite party has refused to receive. Strong documentary and banking evidence is available, including transaction records and prior notices.
Given the conduct of the opposite party, the case is document-based, suitable for ex-parte proceedings, followed by execution through attachment of bank accounts and/or property.
