Sadly nothing. However, the Court may allow reconstruction of the document and/or admitting Secondary Evidence of the lost document.

Is this proposition of yours, "that nothing can be done", applicable to others like Banks and other Creditors who have given loans based on the documents and subsequently the documents are misplaced and lost.

Well in this case the Court can only help you to get the certified copies of the said documents which are admissible in evidence and are as good as the original. No compensation is granted by the Court.
