Sony live with walkman is a good one in that range or you can go with defy+ but it wont get ics update officially

Go for Sony Xperia Mini Pro SK17i. It is the best android in 12k - 15k range.

Xpeira U also falls in your budget, it costs around 15-15.5k.
Or can have a look at Neo with Manufacturer warranty which costs 16k in local market

Better go with Sony Neo V rather than Sony live withwalkman ...neo V is around 15-16k now

also if u can increase more then HTC ONE V is a better option at 16.5-17k :)
