Registrar-General may, in the event of great loss or inconvenience being likely to arise, register any document executed by a registered proprietor, or by any person claiming through or under a registered proprietor, notwithstanding that such document be not in any of the forms prescribed by this Act, nor otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof: Provided that such document purports to create an estate or interest in land for the registration of which estate or interest provision is made in this Act, and would in equity, apart from the provisions of this Act, be regarded as vesting such estate or interest in the person intended to take under such document. The
Registrar-General, upon application for such registration, may reject the same altogether, or may proceed as directed in the last preceding section.
