(!) . - The question whether the disputed properties formed part of the subject-matter of the suit or proceeding for registration purposes is resolved in favor of the compromise charge being effective and not necessitating registration under the Registration Act, given the compromise terms and attachment context (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) . - Vesting of title relates back to the date of sale upon confirmation of the court sale (!) .
