Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Pakistan

AOA, I have a question. I have a small company in Lahore and we are 3 partners running the company. There is no written agreement between the partners and we are doing it on verbal basis. i am the proprietor of the company. We have simple formula that when we have any project, we all three contribute equal money as investment and we three divide equal profit and same is with loss. If there is loss we divide it on equal basis. Now one of my partner contributed PKR 40,000/- in February 2008 but that project was in loss so we all lost our money. But now after exact1 year he called me and asked his money back. He threatened me for consequences if i did not return his 40,000 rupees. my question is that can he lodge an FIR against me after one year or can he go to civil suit for recovery of his money? in my understanding, its not crime and we lost the money in project. if he go to civil suit, i can defend and show all the evidences off project cost but i am afraid of FIR. can FIR be lodged in this case? Plz guide. thanks

Its a small amount, give him and get rid of it. FIR can't be lodged but he can get your company in trouble because of this small amount. Also if litigation starts it will cost you way more than 40,000. [email protected]
