Yes initiation of criminal case against the borrower is have strongly recommended for recovery of money, for that you must mention at the prayer portion of the complaint refund of principle amount along with charges for mental harassment.

File an FIR with the local police station and subsequently a criminal case would help you to recover the money so given.

Neither civil nor criminal case would lie as it has already been time barred.However, if you send copy of noting you made in diary for examination then I may suggest any possibility of recovery. Please call.
