Respected Lawyers,
We misplaced our original agreement which was not registered, however we have the photocopies of the same.
My question is, can we get registerd the photocopy, it will make it legal and valid?
The agreement was entered into before 3-4 years, if the answer to above question is yes, can one party register it even if the original document is not there.
Or we have to again enter into Agreement with the Vendor? Not sure whether they will agree or not.
Suggest some simple procedure. Would appreciate ur prompt reply.
Thanks

Any agreement has to be registered within 4months from the date of execution. If the document could not be registered within the time, the only way to get it registered it is by way of a confirmation deed.
In your case, you do not have originals with you moreover registration is not done within prescribed time and confirmation is also not possible as you said. So, no way.

The querry is repeated. Execute and registered a fresh agreement subject to both the party's (Vendor/purchaser) consent.
