I want to transfer my property to my wife name


01-Jun-2025 (In Property Law)
After my father's death, my brother stolen my original Settlement Deed kept in my father's Bank Locker. He closed my father's locker with Authority letter from my mother, she is joint Locker Acct holder. I am out of station at that time. My brother is a state govt employee. I have Patta, property, water tax & E bill in my name. I went to Sub Registrar office to transfer my property to my wife name but they want original Settlement Deed. I have true copy of Settlement Deed signed by Sub Registrar

hi, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, you can file a police complaint to recover the original documents in the event of the documents being damaged or lost you can file a complaint for the same and get it acknowledged, and proceed with the copy followed by paper publication and then you can get a notarized affidavit stating the same and proceed to the SRO for registration, even then if there is no registration permitted, you can file a civil suit for declaration and direct the SRO to permit property transfer, thank you

Sir, Some registrars accept registration without production of the original deed .you can try registration process with an advocate.. or Alternatively you can file a police complaint on missing document.
