is not wholly rejected by the Registrar-General, the Registrar-General must
cause a notice of the application in the appropriate form—
(a) to
be published once at least in a newspaper circulating in the neighbourhood of
the land, and, if the Registrar-General thinks necessary, in any other
newspaper; and
(b) to
be given to any person who in the Registrar-General's opinion has or may have
any estate or interest in the land; and
(c) to
be published in any other way or given to any other persons.
(2) The notice shall
fix a time, not less than 21 days nor more than 12 months from the first
publication of the notice in a newspaper under subsection (1) of this
section, at or after the expiration of which the Registrar-General may, unless
a caveat is lodged, grant the application altogether or in part.
