Where clubbing provisions apply, you need to deduct Advance money forfeited by previous owner from Cost of acquisition. If the clubbing provisions donot apply like if you got a gift from your friend on the occassion of marriage it will be exempt in the hands of you and when subsequently you transfered it then capital gain will be taxable in your hands. In such cases you can not deduct cost of acquisition from Net sale, hence no question of Advance money forfeited. From A.Y 2015-16, such forfeited amount will be taxable in the hands of previous owner as Income from other sources in the year of forfeiture.

From AY 2015-16 all money forefieted will be taxable as income from other sources u/s 56(2)(ix) in the year in which money forefieted.. It will not be deducted from COA. Its an outdated provision now.
Since previous owner had forefieted the money, therefore as per present provision tax implications will be in the hands of previous owner in the year in which he forefieted.
