When the office of Registrar is temporarily vacant, who has power to act as Registrar till permanent arrangement is made?
Verified Answer
A. Governor
B. Governor on advice of State Government
C. Inspector General of Registration
D. District Judge
Explanation:
Section 10 of the Registration Act, 1908, provides that when a Registrar's office is temporarily vacant, 'any person whom the Inspector-General appoints in this behalf, or, in default of such appointment, the Judge of the District Court' shall be the Registrar. Thus, the Inspector General has the primary power to appoint.
