Dear HRkpati
The details of expenses you mentioned in your post are normal recruitment expenses for any level of hiring - there is nothing special about it.
The organization will have to prove that the expenses were incurred only for this particular candidate in order to claim damages.
Let's turn the discussion around - what if the organization has to withdraw the offer of employment due to a variety of reasons eg. market conditions, recruitment freeze, company restructuring, finding a better candidate internally through job rotation or an employee reference. Will the organization reciprocate and be kind enough to pay such a candidate who gave acceptance of the offer and resigned from his job, at least 3 months of the offered salary so that he can find a job? If the answer is "no", then you know the principles of natural justice are not met, so any such case reaching court will not be entertained.
It is better for the organization and that HR department to swallow their pride and spend the time fruitfully in hiring new resources. Perhaps they can be more stringent when hiring during the next time.

From India, Mumbai
