borrowed money

No  offence against your friend is madr out.if your friend is not returning you borrowed money then file recovery suit against him.

Money given as a hand loan was Rs.5000. No documents to prove. He returned Rs.1000. Net amount payable Rs.4000-

Involve common friend/s to recover the amount. 

Filing suit is throwing good money after bad money. You will end up spending much more than Rs.4000 (net payable to you) for filing the suit and sustaining it till the judgement is received (not known when)in your favor.

A citizen is entitled to file a complaint and it is the duty of the station officer to consider such facts in the complaint and register the case.   As this is a civil case in between friends, as police are busy in many other activities, they may not evince interest.  Even if you bring pressure at the most they may send a constable, and this is not going to solve your issue, as your friend may become more adamant.  If such is the case many Industrialists might have not fled from the country, and the Nonperforming Advances may not have increased to such a huge extent.   When Govt itself can not recover their own money, a common man can not expect such easy recovery.

The issue is too trivial to be pursued in a civil action. You may take up the matter with the adalat functioning in the local court.
