First of all rather than going legally you should serve him/her a legal notice and in that notice you can write that either pay my money or face legal action which will be at your own risk. After that if he/she fails to give you a satisfactory reply then you can anytime file a recovery suit in the court to claim your money back along with compensations.

You should first gather all proofs of the loan such as bank transfer details, chats, messages, or any written acknowledgment. If you have any written agreement or witnesses, that will further strengthen your case. Send him a formal legal notice demanding repayment within a fixed time. If he still does not pay, you can file a recovery suit in civil court. In case the loan was given by cheque or online transfer, criminal proceedings under Section 138 NI Act may also be possible if cheques were issued and dishonoured. His allegation of harassment will not stand if you proceed legally with proper documents.
