Dear Sir/Madam,
First of all that lady can lodge a F.I.R. against her that particular son of illegally detaining the documents of her house at the nearby local police station. On the otherhand she can also apply for certified copy of documents by telling all the details of the house at the nearby Tehsil from where she can get it.

Since it is a family dispute I would strongly recommend interference by other family members or some trusted third person to mediate. If it fails one can look at taking criminal action against the person. A criminal complaint could be filed under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for criminal breach of trust, etc.
