A.Dear client,
You can give your previous landlord a legal notice and subsequently if he doesn't return money then you can file a suit for specific performance and recovery of the money.

A.Hello Amit,
The first thing that you need to do is send him a legal notice asking for the deposit amount and also compensation for the mental harassment caused to you.
Additionally what you also need to do is make a formal written complaint with the respective Police Station on the grounds of cheating, criminal breach of trust and conspiracy. A criminal complaint will definetly act as subtle pressure on him and in order to avoid penal consequences, chances are more that he might return the deposit amount.
