you should file case before the consumer forum. once agreement made it cannot be changed suo moto. new offer i.e. to give Plot in Aliens Hubis, is void in the eye of law, you should file case before the forum for breach of contract and return of money with interest @15% (@12% agreed and @3% as penal interest).

If you have evidences for the arrangement for return of the money deposited with them you may issue a legal demand notice for the balance of amount and the interest. If the builder fails to comply with the demands made, you may drag them to civil court for recovery of money by filing money recovery suit.

You may consult an advocate in the local and discuss the matter at depth and either file the case as a party in person or through the advocate itself.
