He didn’t show us the other side of the house , stating that the sellers wife was ill and sleeping in the room. asked my parents to deposit the token money. my parents wanted to give ₹30,000 as the deposit but property and seller insisted to deposit ₹150,000. and asked us to come for a visit the next day. The next day when my parents went to see the house again, and found out that house was one side open. And when we asked for our money back, seller stated that they had spent the money and don’t have the money. tjey promised to pay back in 2 weeks but haven’t yet done it. it’s been over a month and when my parents went and asked them for the money. they refused to return the money. im need assistance on this behalf. what options do we have and how legal is the bayana which one can buy from a stationary shop and put a ₹1stamp and no govt stamp ?

Look In India we do not have any law to regulate or check unfair trade practice by Property Deal.Most of the property dealer don't have their firm registered.
Now question is Bayana(advance) is legal but how you are going to prove the deal was for two side or one side.
Now recite of one lack fifty thousand on signature on revenue stamp is valid recite but the question is who signed it.you can file a suit of recovery if you can answer the question raised above and also file criminal case under 420 or 406 IPC.

You may file a criminal case against the seller and dealer as from your statement it seems that from the very inception of transaction there was an intention to commit a fraud upon you. Therefore you can file a police complaint
