Generally the records related to all the cases pending or closed are kept safely in the record room of the concerned court. It order to get those record after the judgement there is procedure which need to be followed after the judgement. The procedure being you have submit the request of getting the record by the information slip and along with the information slip you'll have to attach the xeros of the property documents and an identity proof.

A.Hello
You could obtain those record from the record room of that court whether high court or subordinate court. You just need to provide the xerox of the property paper and identity proof with the request slip. After this procedure you could obtain the same from the court.

A.After expiry of 23 years,there is likelihood of destroying those records if the matter is in Subordinate Courts but if the matter is in High Court,then old disposed of matter records are maintained in old record section.

If the matter is in Lower Court,then immediately file an Information Slip in that Court specifying the particulars of the matter asking information regarding the matter records and then take necessary steps in the Seresta of the concerned Court to find out the matter records. Then it is necessary on your part to file application with xerox copies of those original documents along with your identity proofs,praying for return of those Original documents, keeping those xeroxes in the records of the matter. After necessary Order from the Ld.Court,you will be entitled to get the original documents back to your custody.

A.First of all apply for certified copies of the documents and once you have received the certified copies you will be sure whether the documents are there with the court or not. After obtaining the certified copies apply to the court for release of the original documents citing the case number and year.
You will have to replace the original documents with the certified copies.
You can take the help of a lawyer to do all this or even can do yourself.
