You can obtain duplicate copy of the documents from the registry, which can be used for all purposes.

Value of original document cannot be equated with certified copy. Property rights cannot go with orignal document. Take steps to establish that you lost original document like lodging complaint with concerned police, giving publication, getting certificate from that police, obtaining certififed copy, encumbrance certificate, etc.
