You can approach the civil court with the limited proof you've and ask for either a settlement or damages

In absence of a Contract, the amount given by person A will prima facia appear to be an advance / loan given by him and a civil suit/ commercial civil suit could be filed to recover the amount. You need to be careful about period of limitation which normally will be three years from the date when money was lent and in certain circumstances, it could be from date of arising of cause of action.

Also, if you can show that it was the intention of the company/ its officers from the beginning to induce you to lend money through false promise, there may be a possibility for criminal complaint/ FIR for cheating.
