'K' gives his note-book of self written poetries to his friend for FOREVER & goes out of state for some work for 5 years.
Meanwhile his friend somehow loses that notebook somewhere.After 5 years they meet again, then 'K' says his friend to return that note-book what he can't do now because it was lost.
Can 'K' get his friend punished or make him to pay damages in any way by LAW enforcement?

Any thing given as gift cannot be asked back. This notebook given for forever without any conditions hence it amounts to gift . It cannot be claimed by the donor as he had given all his right of ownership to the donee who has complete right to use it as he wish. In your case 'K' can neither claim the note-book nor claim damages for its loss.

If your friend developed the photos and gives you a set without a womans permission I'm not sure what crime you would even be committing unless you published the photos somewhere or used them to blackmail the woman somehow. If you give someone your property and they never return it or do something with it that they were not authorized to do, it is not a crime, and the only recourse that you have is to sue them. So the woman gave your friend negatives to develop photos from, and if he develops another set of photos for you, there is no crime. If the woman finds out and doesn't like it, she might be able to bring a lawsuit against you or your friend, and it doesn't sound very ethical, but I see no law being broken here!

If they are friends and the statement of the second one about the poetry book is true then your question about legal action is totally a wrong one.Is there any friend who can take an action for a poetry book on other friend.If so then the meaning for the friendship gets defeated.

Unless you have something in writing saying that your friend agrees to be responsible for the notebook while you are away, and that he will return it to you when you return after five years, then the law would probably consider the notebook abandoned property and you would have no claim.

Absomutely not. There was never an implied conversion of the notebook, and losing an item is not illegal. Because K gave him the notebook with his own hands, there was no forcible theft, therefore his friend is unpunishable.

No chance. K has only got himself to blame. Why is everyone out to make a quick buck by sueing for the most ridiculous things?

No is the simple answer. It was given to K's friend "FOREVER" as you state, which would imply that K did not want it back. The fact that K's friend subsequently loses it would be irrelevant.

Boy, if K doesn't understand the other person, then there is no use in calling him as a friend.*

no, thats bullshit. If that notebook wa so special to him, he would have kept it himself. He souldnt have given it to a friend.
