Please specify the percentage of amount in relation to total amount
In case as above referred that you made an agreement with the other person which should be registered you can file a different cases on him including return of money within 3 years or the limitation starts. You may consult an advocate for further legal advice basing upon the agreement and it's nature.

HI,
you can take action against him either civil or criminal. you file criminal case against him U/S 420 AND 406 of IPC
for criminal breach of trust and cheating.
if you want that particular land you file suit for specific performance in the civil court where the land is situated,
but in this case you must be in a position to pay the remaining balance amount as agreed in the agreement of sale.

Hi
Since you have paid money and the seller is not coming forward to register the land, issue legal notices to the seller asking him to return the money with Interest or come forward for the registration.
Also you can file a criminal complaint under cheating sec 420 right away in the nearest police station so as to prevent him from running away or absconding.
