This is a common practice in India. When a person loses their certificate or marksheet, they will typically place an ad in the local newspaper in order to try and find it. This is because it can be difficult to get a replacement copy of these documents from the government.
The ad will usually include information about the person’s name, date of birth, and the type of document that was lost. It may also include a contact number or email address so that people can contact the person if they happen to find the document.
Here’s why you should book lost document ad in newspaper :
- To inform the general public: Booking the lost document ad in newspaper will bring the much-needed attention. The general public needs to be aware of lost or misplaced items so that they can look out for them.
- To fulfil the legal requirements: In order to prevent misuse of the missing documents if they fall into wrong hands, it is mandatory for a criminal FIR and Police News Note column content so that information about lost or stolen certificates can be shared with those who are interested.
- Getting the duplicate copy: If a Marksheet or College/ University document is misplaced or lost, placing an advertisement in the local newspaper can be an easy way to get your replacement certificate. As long as you include some form of identification like police reports and FIRs with your description of what happened when filing this report then there will likely not be any problems
