Nothing to worry. Go to the registrars office at your local jurisdiction along with the photostat copies and apply for a certified copy which is equal as the original and make a complaint to you local police station of such misplaced deed. The deed number shall be present and the matter of record in your copies.

Report to police that you misplaced the deed. Along with that police report, visit your area registrar office. You will have to apply for certified copies of the deed. On payment of certain amount they will issue another copy of the deed. While making an application for obtaining the true certified copy, make a mention of the misplaced deed and you may attach the photostat copy of the misplaced deed.

1. A certified copy of the registry can be obtained from the office of jurisdictional registrar. It would take around a month for you to get the certified copy as things move at a snail's pace in these government offices where corruption is rampant. If you remember the year in which registry is made then the search can be narrowed down to the registries made in that year which would also minimise the time within which the certified copy can be searched.

2. Go to the nearest police station and file a complaint to it for the misplacing of your registry. Keep a copy of the complaint with you and also the acknowledgment given by police.

file an application before Sub-registrar office for certified copy of the same with the required fee. before this you should file an information cum complainant regarding the lost of the documents, it will be better for you. you may published the same with the version that your original documents have been lost so the transaction of those properties will be void if anybody do that without the consent and permission of yours.
