Agree with @raksrules. Most of the low-midrange androids doesnt get an update.

But you can go for the ones with JB in this price range as you wouldn't miss out on much since JB gives you project butter, google now etc...

If Android then the best option in this range is the Samsung Galaxy Advance ~ 13kish. At release it was a upper mid-range @ 20k. But after price cuts and the recent official JB 4.1.2 India rollout its an excellent proposition in that budget and fulfills all your needs.

L9 is nice if you like a 4.7 inch screen. At 960x540 res the PPI is pretty good for a nice visual experience.

L7 is not worth it. Good 4.3 inch IPS screen but let down by its single core processor and Adreno 200 GPU.

L7 II is much better (but also more expensive). Has 1 Ghz dual core A5 processor and 768 MB ram (L7 has 512 MB).

That said Galaxy Advance is still better with faster A9 CPU vs A5 CPU on L7 II and has faster Mali 400 GPU vs Adreno 203 GPU on L7 II.

Consider L9 if you want a bigger 4.7 inch screen.

All above phones have JB updates.

Like @DarkAngel said the Galaxy S Advance is your best bet in this range. It has an AMOLED screen plus the music quality is pretty good on it.
The L9 is also a good option with a bigger screen and better resolution. However the MALI400 on the Galaxy S Advance is way better than the Adreno on the L7 II or the PowerVRSGX540 on the L9. Go for the S advance...
