Commentary on the Sections Supplementary Section 131: “Proprietor in possession”
204.The effect of the provision is that a proprietor is treated as being in possession of land which is physically in the possession of certain other people, for example, the proprietor’s tenant or mortgagee. Land is also regarded as being in possession of the proprietor if it is in the possession of a person who is entitled to be registered as proprietor. But a squatter’s right to be registered as proprietor does not count for this purpose.
