Paid advance for land but now land in family dispute


10-May-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi Sir, I had given an advance of 30 Lakhs for a piece of land worth's around 2.1 crore. Also, we made an agreement for 10 Lakh, in which it was stated that if seller fails to meet terms then he has to pay double of the amount, from the date of agreement signed. Now the seller has some family disputes and he agreed that it will take a long time to resolve that becoz their family members have filed a case against him. Also, he keeps on saying that we refused to take land and we have proof that a case is going on same land and he doesn't have any right to transfer it. Please suggest...

Give him a legal notice first and tell him to return the money within specific time with interest ,send the notice through registered post, if he don't return then file a criminal complaint of fraud against him, simultaneously file a recovery suit against him.
