The section gives the registrar the power to give notice of their intention to register the transfer free of the mortgage and gives a mortgagee the right to object to the registration upon receipt of the notice. The section further provides for the resolution of an objection at a hearing before the registrar with a right of appeal to the Supreme Court.
