Dear Sir,
You are in dangerous situation. You must see the advocate immediately. If other party not yet approached the Court then you must try to send reply and file a suit for specific performance or recovery of money paid with interest. The law is as follows.
====================================================================================
The courts grants the relief of specific performance in the following situations- If the compensation to be awarded cannot be determined. Remedy of specific performance is awarded in cases where it is impossible to fix compensation. In this case, the court directs the defendant to perform his promise as agreement as agreed at the time of making the contract. Remedy of specific performance is awarded when there is no substitute or alternate for the subject matter of the contract. Remedy of specific performance is awarded in case of goods, the value of which cannot be easily ascertained and the goods have a unique character. For example, buildings, land or goods having special value for the plaintiff. Remedy of specific performance is awarded at the sole discretion of the court. However, there are certain circumstances when this remedy cannot be awarded. For instance, when the specific performance is impossible, when the contract is too vague to be enforced, when the element of ad-idem-consensus is missing, the contract was made for no consideration, when the contract is void or unenforceable etc.
There is an ongoing debate in the legal literature regarding the desirability of specific performance. Economists, generally, take the view that specific performance should be reserved to exceptional settings, because it is costly to administer and may deter promisors from engaging in efficient breach.

Section 10 in The Specific Relief Act, 1963
10. Cases in which specific performance of contract enforceable.—Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, the specific performance of any contract may, in the discretion of the court, be enforced—
(a) when there exists no standard for ascertaining actual damage caused by the non-performance of the act agreed to be done; or
(b) when the act agreed to be done is such that compensation in money for its non-performance would not afford adequate relief. Explanation.—Unless and until the contrary is proved, the court shall presume—
(i) that the breach of a contract to transfer immovable property cannot be adequately relieved by compensation in money; and
(ii) that the breach of a contract to transfer movable property can be so relieved except in the following cases:—
(a) where the property is not an ordinary article of commerce, or is of special value or interest to the plaintiff, or consists of goods which are not easily obtainable in the market;
(b) where the property is held by the defendant as the agent or trustee of the plaintiff.
