Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I had paid Rs. 50,000/- as token for buying a flat in Navi Mumbai.

The seller has cancelled this deal saying personal problems.

He is also not paying back my Rs.50000/- token amount.

I am holding a receipt with seller signature on revenue stamp for an amount of Rs. 50.000/-.

Please advise how can I get my money back.

Is complaining to police a viable option or go directly to court.
