Unless there is a clause in the Contract, imposing a penalty, regretfully but you are helpless and any coercion to make a person would amount to slavery of a form.The same is also provided in Specific Relief Act. However, I did advise that from next time onwards get a clause in the contract wherein you impose pecuniary penalty for people declining offer after acceptance.

Also you would make a fair case if you sue for breach of Contrcat and claim damages.
