If the record of any unexecuted judgment or final order of a court of record of this state is lost, mutilated, defaced, or destroyed, any person interested therein may, upon ten (10) days' written notice to the adverse party, move the court in which the judgment was rendered or final order was made to reenter the same of record. Upon satisfactory proof that a judgment or final order has theretofore been entered of record and that it has been mutilated, defaced, or destroyed, and the purport thereof, the court shall reenter it of record. The reentered judgment or final order shall have the same effect as the original and official copies thereof shall be admissible as evidence for all purposes for which copies of the original would be competent. No judgment for costs shall be rendered against the defendant in the motion unless he controverts the plaintiff's right and fails in his defense.
