REMEDY WHERE DUPLICATE CERTIFICATE IS WITHHELD

> In case the person in possession of the owner’s duplicate certificate refuses or fails to surrender the same to the RD so that any involuntary or voluntary instrument may be registered and a certificate issued, the party in interest may file a petition in court to compel the surrender of the same to the RD

> The court after hearing may order the registered owner or any person withholding the duplicate certificate and direct the entry of a new certificate or memorandum upon such surrender

> If the person withholding the certificate is not amenable to the process of the court, or if for any reason the certificate cannot be delivered, the court may order the annulment of said certificate and the issuance of a new certificate of title in lieu thereof

> Such new certificate and all duplicates thereof shall contain a memorandum of the annulment of the outstanding duplicate
