Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

a person filed a case against me after 3 yrs for recovery of Rs.2lacs. the case is like I was a property dealer and sold a flat for which i didnot have any power of attorney worth Rs.19 lacs for which we did not made proper agreement to sell but a receipt in which it was written that he gave Rs15000/- as token money and Rs.3,90000 as part payment of the flat and rest would pay in 1 month's time. There was a clause in that receipt that if the seller cancels he would have to pay double the amount and if the buyer cancels the money would be forfeited. after 10 days of the receipt date they cancelled the deal but requested me to pay back the amount for which I paid them Rs.2 lacs by manager's cheque rest told them would pay later for which they gave me in written. As promised I paid them in cash for which they gave me full n final receipt. But after 3 years they filed a suit against me for the balance payment. As for me this case was over long time back so i dint keep the receipt safely. after 2 hearings which went in their favour I found ma 2lacs receipt on the 3rd hearing and now have found full and final receipt also but judge is not considering my proofs and has given his judgement against me and ordered me to pay Rs.1.9 lacs in 8 days which is not possible for me at this moment. Please help me and guide me asap

If case is already decided, you need to prefer an appeal and contest.
