On application by any person for registration as proprietor under section 135, the application shall be advertised by the Registrar at the expense of the applicant in such manner as the Registrar may direct.
The Registrar shall give notice of any such application to the proprietor of the land affected and to any other persons who may, in his opinion, be affected thereby.
After one month has elapsed from the date of giving notice under subsection (2), the Registrar, on being satisfied as to the applicant's title, may allow the application and register him as proprietor of the land claimed, either with absolute or provisional title, as the case may require, but without prejudice to any interests protected by any entry on the register which may not have been extinguished under the Limitation Law (1996 Revision).
The proprietor or the applicant or any other persons interested, may apply to the court for the determination of any question arising under this section or sections 136 and 137.
