Missing sale deed from Sub Registrar office

I am planning to buy a property. To verify the original documents shown to me, I went to sub-registrar office to get the certified copies. I filed a request at sub-registrar for certified copy of a sale deed registered in 1999 with all the required details. I got a written reply/certificate that though as per their record the sale deed was registered on the specified date and details, however the copy of the same in not traceable in their records. I met sub-registrar and ADM also, however the answers remains same " its not traceable". My questions: 1. How can they just say that documents is "not traceable"? What action should I take now? 2. What are the risks I carry by buying this property? And what are the safety mechanism, if any? Thansk for your help.

Report to police that you misplaced the deed. Along with that police report, visit your area registrar office. You will have to apply for certified copies of the deed. On payment of certain amount they will issue another copy of the deed. While making an application for obtaining the true certified copy, make a mention of the misplaced deed and you may attach the photostat copy of the misplaced deed.
