Land Act 1958

When a sale of land has been advertised under the provisions of this Part it shall be lawful for the person named therein as grantee his executor or administrator at any time up to within fourteen days of the date fixed by the advertisement for the sale to apply^[9] in writing signed by the applicant to the Registrar for delivery or registration (as the case may be) of such grant; and such application shall be accompanied by evidence by statutory declaration that he is such grantee executor or administrator (as the case may be) and verifying all the allegations of fact stated in the application.

The Registrar shall investigate the merits of the application, and for that purpose may call for such further evidence and direct such notices to be published or served as he deems necessary, and may after such investigation in his discretion grant such application or refuse the same.

The Minister may if necessary for the purposes of such investigation postpone such sale; or if the application is granted withdraw the lands from sale.
