Lost Property Documents
5 years ago
I have misplaced my property documents, don't even have a copy of it. It was a GPA which was only notarized not registered. Can I get something from court of law which proves my ownership on my property and lets me sell this property further.
This what the Law says.
As per Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, all transactions that involve the sale of an immovable property for a value exceeding Rs 100, should be registered. This effectively means that all the transactions of sale of immovable property have to be registered, as no immovable property can be purchased for merely Rs 100. Additionally, all transactions of gift of an immovable property, as well as lease for a period exceeding 12 months, are also mandatorily required to be registered.
In special cases, when a party to the transaction cannot come to the sub-registrar’s office, the sub-registrar may depute any of its officers to accept the documents for registration, at the residence of such person. The term ‘immovable property’ includes land, buildings and any rights attached to these properties.
Procedure and documents required.
The property documents that need to be registered, should be submitted to the office of the Sub-Registrar of Assurances within whose jurisdiction the property, which is the subject matter of transfer, is situated. The authorised signatories for the seller and the purchaser, have to be present along with two witnesses, for registration of the documents.
The signatories should carry their proof of identity. The documents that are accepted for this purpose, include Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or any other proof of identity issued by a government authority. The signatories also have to furnish the power of authority, if they are representing someone else. In case a company is party to the agreement, the person representing the company has to carry adequate documents, like power of attorney/letter of authority, along with a copy of the resolution of the company’s board, authorising him to carry out the registration.

You should apply for duplicate Certified copy from the registration department and do needful.
Yes, you can get either duplicate or certified copies of such documents and on the basis of such documents you can sell the properties. You have to lodge a complaint with the police stating that the documents were misplaced or stolen away, it is a basic document which will be looked into by Courts if you file a suit for declaration to declare yourself as owner of property on the basis of secondary evidence.
