In the normal case, a person who receives a conveyance takes it to the Regis-try, where the time and date of his delivering it is certified; if all is well, it is registered, and the registration is taken to be at the time and on the date certified as that of delivery: section 17. If registration is refused, a note of “re-gistration refused” is made; in case of subsequent delivery for registration, the time and date of it are certified, and if the instrument is registered, they become the hour and date of registration: section 18. The precise hour and date of delivery, or subsequent delivery, are of supreme importance for the purposes of section 16. They are of supreme importance to a person who makes a search for his guidance. Section 28 states that – “28. The registrar shall allow searches to be made at all reasonable times in any register book, register or file of registered or filed documents in his custody.”
