I am just trying to understand how law works in some practical situations like original sale/gift deed lost.
One of the conditions for transferring immovable property is the document needs to be registered. If the document is lost, after registration, we can obtain a copy from Sub-Reg Office (SRO). What SRO gives is a handwritten document. This is not a photo copy of original document (This applies to old documents, I am not sure if they now are giving a photo copy of original document).
They will write everything on a non-judical stamp paper and give you. They state, who were the executors, witnesses in the document etc...
What is the level of validity and admissibility of this copy when approaching a civil court basing on this hand written copy given by SRO? The hand writing of original document, the signatures on original can't be proved and also are questionable.
How these problems can be overcome? Would court admit the suit basing on copy given by SRO?
