Can a photocopy of a sale deed be misused legally?
Hi, I am suffering from OCD and had pictures of a sale deed on my mobile. I am not sure, but I believe I may have mistakenly shared a photocopy of the sale deed. Now my phone is broken. Can the photocopy be misused? I need legal advice.

A photocopy of a sale deed has no legal value because property can only be transferred through the original registered document. So, it cannot be misused for sale or transfer. Keep your original documents safe, inform the Sub-Registrar’s office in writing, and if anyone tries to misuse it, you can immediately file a police complaint.
