80G—Power to issue certificates
Upon or after the expiration of the time fixed by the notice under
section 80E of this Act, if the Registrar-General is satisfied that the
possession on which the applicant relies would, if the land had not been
subject to this Act, have conferred on the applicant a title by possession, he
may issue to the applicant a certificate for an estate in fee simple or for
any other estate acquired by the applicant, free from all encumbrances
appearing by the Register Book to affect the existing title: Provided that
where a caveat has been lodged against the granting of an application the
Registrar-General shall not grant that application unless—
(a) the
caveat has lapsed; or
(b)
proceedings taken by the caveator to establish his title have been finally
disposed of, and in those proceedings the caveator has failed to establish his
title, or to obtain from the Court an injunction restraining the
Registrar-General from issuing a certificate to the applicant.
