If someone refuses to return your money, the best way to resolve the dispute is to take a legal action against the borrower. The legal action begins by sending a legal notice which is followed by filing a case in Court i.e. either civil or criminal or both. In civil court, a summary suit can be filed under Order 37 of CPC and in case of verbal and lack of formal documentation, one can file a regular suit for recovery of money within 3 years of the default.

To file a criminal case, one has to decide whether it is a case of cheating, criminal breach of trust or misappropriation and then proceed with filing a criminal complaint with the police or court accordingly. The different grounds for filing a criminal case for non-return of owed money are 1) bouncing of cheque 2) Criminal Breach of Trust 3) Cheating.
