Hello,

File a police complaint for cheating and fraud against the said person and approach the nearest police station. Since there was no agreement and hence the other party is liable to return the said amount of advance taken.

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud, breach of trust etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting documents.

2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.

Dear maam,

The best option with you is that you can file a recovery suit. But, firstly you should send the legal notice to the person who took your money. maybe, on that note only he could return your hard-earned money. 

you can contact me for consultation and for sending legal notice to him.

If he is refusing to return the amount you may ask him to register the property to you, if he fails to agree you may lodge a crimninal complaint against him with the local police or issue a legal notice demanding your money for the said reasons.

After that you can plan filing a legal case for recovery of money.
