destroyed/lost/misplaced of original saleed deed

The facts narrated by you raises lot of suspicion about the property. It might have been mortgaged etc.,. Better to avoid buying it. If at any cost, you want to buy the property, the following precautions have to be taken:

1. Apply for certified copy of the documents from the registrar office.

2. Apply for encumbrance certificate for 30 years.

3. Give a publication in the local newspaper.

But always Buyer Beware.

I agree with teh view of Mr. Mugundhan.

please go for What Mr. Mugundhan has stated.

I agree with Mr. Mugundhan but u write in sale deed that the sale deed of year 1992  was destroyed/lost/misplaced from purchaser and the property is clear, marketeble.

Firstly you should get the index inspection done for the last 30 yaers and thereafter it should be published in  two news paper.

Besides this, you can have a Memorandum of Understanding to the effect that the original sale deed is not traceable and a paper publication has been done and now as and when it would be traced, it would be handed over / delivered to you and would not be misused at all.
