Section 126

The Registrar may refuse to complete or proceed with the registration of any instrument, or to do any act or make any entry in relation thereto, if he is of the opinion that, because of some defect or error therein or because of an omission to furnish certain documents or for any other reason, it is not capable of registration.

(2)

Notice of such refusal shall be given to the person who presented the instrument for registration, or to the person entitled thereunder, requiring him to correct the error or do such other thing as may be necessary to make the instrument capable of registration. In the event of such person omitting, for a period of one month after the date of such notice, to comply with the requirements thereof, the

Registrar may deliver the instrument to the person who presented it for registration, or send it by registered letter through the post to such person or to the person entitled thereunder, and thereupon all fees and duties paid thereon shall be forfeited.
