authenticity of entry register maintained by public notary

meenakshi chauhan (Querist) 16 January 2011 This query is : Resolved
When we get our any document notarized , notary used to make entry in his register.
what is the importance of that register?

i asked delhi secretariat through RTI if they maintain any such record of such register. i was replied that government dont keep any such record.

what will be the importance of that register in any criminal case if the authenticity of that notary register cant be proved by any government record.

this is the situation i am having in one of our family case. i am briefing it:

A & B get into some agreement, and get that agreement notarized with a public notary. after around 15 years disputes arrises between them. B challenges that this document has never been notarized and this is an bogus agreement.
when enquired it was found that notary is dead.
entry register of that notary is taken from the home of the notary from his son.
To know the authenticity of that register A took the copy of that register and send that to delhi secretariat where the record of that notary is maintained. but it was found from the department that they dont keep any record of notary entry register.

Q.. what will happen in that case.?
Q.. will the copy of that register will be relied in the situation when it cant be authenticated by any govt department?

as being a layman everybody dont know what is the procedure which has to be followed by notary, may be the notary didnt make the entry in the register, and that cant be taken as the layman fault.

please give suggestions..

thank u

THE NOTARY HAS KEEPING DAY TODAY RECORDS IN WHICH THE EVERY AFFIDAVITS, DOCUMENTS ATTESTED, NOTARISED HAS BEEN KEPT. ALSO GIVING S.NO., VOLUME, PAGE NO. he is a gazetted officer. There is a presumption relating to the attestation and notarisation a document as genuine. A notaraised document should be kept for some short of time only. Your document exceeds 12 years. A have to registered the same for any future problems.

you can summon the family of notary with the original register where such entry was mentioned and it will be legally admissible document.
