Registration cannot be refused merely because the transferor's title is alleged to be defective or because the land appears in urban land ceiling records or related proceedings. If a sale deed is duly executed, presented, and otherwise compliant with the Act, the officer must register it, leaving title disputes to be determined in appropriate proceedings.
