As soon as may be after the entry of any such caveat, the Registrar shall serve a notification in Form 19a upon the proprietor of the land or an undivided share in the land bound thereby or, in the case of a caveat binding a particular interest only, upon the person or body in whom that interest is for the time being vested.
