High Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain a direct originating summons to cancel a registrar's caveat where no statutory application was made to the Registrar or State Director and no decision appealable under section 418 of the National Land Code exists; consequently the plaintiff's originating summons was premature and must be dismissed. The registrar's caveat entered under section 320 was valid and remains in force under section 321(3).

The Registrar acted within statutory discretion under s320(1)(a) NLC to enter and retain the Registrar's caveat to prevent fraud and preserve the status quo while the PDRM investigation under s420 Penal Code remained ongoing; the court will not cancel the caveat at this stage because the Registrar's exercise of discretion was proper and justified by the ongoing investigation.
