what is the actual case.

A compromise decree was settled but now reopening case since some material facts have been discovered which pertain to "Suppression of documents" pertaining to false land selling wherein the person didnt have a title & he misleaded into wrong investment...This act of his was not told by him to us or to the court & he was selling an agricultural land which is barred under the "Agricultural Lands Act".

Apart from money, I need to know whether there are strong other measures so as to prove the offence & make him responsible for his fraudulent actions & intentions.

 the intention of the seller  was to  practice  deception upon you to part with  money  for the  land  of which  the transferoe  was never the owner , amounts to  cheating  and is  punishabe u/s 420 of the IPC
