To give the background, my father bought a 1020sq ft (15×68 ft) plot 25+years ago. Person X has also bought identical plot adjacent to ours. They built a temporary house (kachha makan) on their plot and we built permanent house parallel to their house. At this point there were no other houses in the vicinity, just two of us.
After some years, we got to know that our houses are crooked and went into neighbours plot. So, most of the part of our house went into the person X plot and person X house went into person Y plot.
Then my father and person X went to person Y in order to buy their plot and end this dispute. Person Y kept neglecting and delaying to sell. Later after some years, person X built somewhat better house at the same place. Later on we also extended one room on our plot. Till this point person X and us were on the same page to buy person Y plot and end the dispute.
Before a couple of years, person X came to us and asked to go to person Y to buy their plot since person X wanted to build permanent house. So, we went to person Y and multiple rounds of discussions. In the end person Y agreed to sell it at somewhat lower rates than the market. Person X then backed off from buying saying I’ll build my house at the current location only. (Earlier it was decided that person X will buy some part and we will buy the other part) So, we bought the entire plot.
Before a month of so, person X demolished their existing house, came to us and asked now I want to build my house what do I do. We said you only wanted to build at the current location so build there. So he agreed, but after a few days again came to us that I want undisputed land and all. So, we asked him to shift to the edge of person Y plot which we bought plus we came to an agreement that we will also give 55k as compensation (this compensation makes no sense in my view but they constantly blames us that we built the house and so they have to do adjustments, so my father said let’s end this by giving them some compensation) they agreed to this. But that requires sub division, to move out 1020 sq ft plot out from 2000sq ft. Later on they backed off from this also saying we won’t shift to that place giving ridiculous reasons.

To summarise, we are agreed to person X’s demands still they are not satisfied with anything, we agreed to give them same plot adjacent to their current plot which won’t have any dispute additionally agreed to give compensation as well. Still giving ridiculous reasons they are backing off.

What legal actions can they take given our house is there on their plot since 25+ years, they also had their house in some other land but they demolished inorder to build a new one, so they conveniently demanding anything they want? If they go to court what could be the verdict?
What legal actions can we take on this?
Any legal advices to us?
