Unregistered agreement will not give any actionable claim in case of immovable properties.  Through court he can only get back money from you he cannot force your to sell.  You can give him back his money and take back the paper.

Agreement of sale need not be registered.

Unregistered agreement for sale is perfectly valid and the buyer has right to enforce the agreement by filing a suit for specific performance. Performance of contract is rule and return of advance amount is exception.

File a caveat before concerned court to protect you from interim orders.
