First with the help of xerox obtain the copy of documents and encumberrance certificate for 25 years from the Registrar Office.Then give a police complaint and take a FIR from them.Then issue a public notice regarding lost documents in news paper thro' an advocate.With the help of the advocate file a declaration suit in the court.Once it is done the court will endorse the copy of documents obtained from Registrar office with the Court Seal.Then on wards the court endorsed documents would be considered as originals.Entire process could be completed in 30 days. consult a good lawyer.

thank you for your valuable information,after getting those documents from the court ,is there any problem while selling the property?....is that documents are sufficient for sale?

Buyer should be happy with it since nothing would have been left to the best of my knowledge and the Encumberrance Certificate for 25 years would prove that property is with clear title
