A person can give loan without interest to his near and dear. No stamp, registered document or witness is require to prove that money transaction was a loan. You can file civil or criminal proceeding for recovery of money. Civil proceeding shall take more time and also more expensive because court fee is applicable in proportionate to money claimed for recovery and it is pre-condition in civil suit.

You can also initiate a criminal proceeding for the offence punishable. Criminal proceeding is swifter than civil proceeding. Your father can register an FIR in the nearest police station and take the case ahead.
