Order 71 r.5(4) must be read according to its plain meaning: 'while it remains competent for any party to apply' refers to the competence of the applying party and is judged by the statutory time limit; accordingly the rule provides a single code curtailing the Court’s general power to extend time in registration proceedings under Ord.3 r.5 or inherent jurisdiction, and the Court had no jurisdiction to grant the extension sought for the Registrar’s Certificate; appeal dismissed.
