Informal record may have helped you in court if you had brought the legal action within time. 10 years have passed since you gave the money to your friend. You have no case now against him.

Even a criminal case cannot be filed now. Forget the amount lent as a bad debt.

Any civil case for recovery of the said money has now become barred by limitation.
