No original agreement s but only photo copy

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 17 November 2021 This query is : Resolved
The owner (buyer) of the property has lost the original copies of the agreements/documents (ikraarnama etc) of a cooperative society land plot but has the photo copies of these lost original documents and for sure has the original cooperative society patta that was transferred from the seller to this purchaser along with original blue colour maps. There is no JDA patta or registration done yet.
Will this owner face challenges due to the lost original documents if decides to sell this plot further? If yes, what should be done in this situation?

Of course there will be many challenges in the absence of original documents.
Register FIR for the loss of specific documents and obtain certified copies thereof from concerned authorities.

1. You may prefer to file a Declaration Suit in the local Civil Court, for your purposes, supported with all available documents.

If you made a complaint in Police Station for missing original documents, then obtain the certified copy of the document from the SRO concerned and then they will be accepted for proof.

All transactions related to immovable property such as land has to registered with the sub registrar in India after paying the requisite stamp duty. Many decades ago, one could purchase lands without registering the deed but stamp duty was necessary. One may have a copy of the payment of stamp duty and registration charges which will help prove the authenticity of the photocopies.
Also, if you are in the occupation of the property and if your occupation has not been challenged then you are in a strong position as an owner.
If there is a society to which you have sold the land or permitted to build, the society may have become the owner of the land as in earlier times, the land owners woudl sell the land to the society and the members would then build houses on the land.
