Sir
I did an verbal agreement to sell a piece of land to a person "A" at 5 lacs rupees. and received a token of Rs (ten thousand) 100000/-. He promised to pay earnest money in two days. A plain paper receipt is also given to this effect.Mr "A" failed to give earnest money to me and his token was sent back to him after thee days but he refused to take back token money and threatning to go in court. I have sold my land to another person at much higher price.Now after one month Mr "A" is again threatning me to pay him One lac rupee failing which he wants to take help of court for breach of contract and mental harrasment and that verbal agreement was only to extract money from him where as token money is with the middle man from his side ans he is not willing to take money back and black mailing me to get 1 lac rupee from me. there are four witness for return of money to him and his refusal.
What should I do

let him do what ever he threatens. You may chase him to do what ever he wants as he has nothing to do against you. Mere token money receipt is not a contract and it can never be executed.
You can also lodge a criminal complaint against him even he do not stop his such false threatening.
