The Bank should certify that original deeds deposited with it are lost and that they are free from encumbrance. It is better to get a deed of indemnity from the bank and get it registered. Then with copies certified by the bank as substituted for the originals lost can be utilized by the customer to deal with the property in question. The Bank should also undertake that in the event of their later finding out the originals they would restore it to the customer.
