Return of Token money against sale of house

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 April 2018 This query is : Resolved
I am 75 yrs old widow, having two married daughters. One renter is not vacating 3 rooms in my house since 50 yrs. I liked to sell my house with renter on as is where is basis. One buyer came to me. Price discussed and he agreed on a LS deal. He told he is ready to accept all my terms to purchase the house with renter. He will drag the renter out.

He gave me a token advance of 11 Lac. No receipt, no agreement,and no chirkut for receipt of payment was given by me to him. But I deposited the cheque, in my Bank and which was credited to my account.
Once the amount credited to my account, after 10 days, he tried to reduce the price by 15 Lacs as there is diff in Sale deed area & Anchal rect area. I agreed for that. After another 10 days, he is telling me to reduce price by another 15 Lacs. I am not ready to do this deal now because of his behavior. But he threatened me as he will file a suit on me and drag the property in litigation. I can close the deal also if he give me full money as agreed, which will not be, I pretend.

I am worried as what to do. I am helpless and not many persons with me. Kindly guide me with the Legal aspects in this deal thoroughly sirs. I will be highly obliged for your help.

First Let him to step in to the Court. Basing on the grounds which he had filed the suit it could be handled effectively. Do not have any communication with him orally or in writing which would be taken as record. Even the mobile conversation could be recorded and could be treated as evidence.
