Section 23 — Filing and registration of documents

(1) Where in opinion of the Registrar, any document required or authorized by or under this Act to be filed or registered with the Registrar,—
(a) does not comply with the requirements of law, or any regulations made by the Commission; or
(b) is not complete owing to any defect, error or omission; or
(c) is insufficiently legible or is written upon paper which is not durable; or
(d) is not properly authenticated; or
(e) is not in the prescribed form, if any,

the Registrar may refuse to accept the document for filing or registration and direct the limited liability partnership to file a revised document in the form and within the period to be specified through order:

Provided that the limited liability partnership may appropriately amend or complete and resubmit the document again or submit a fresh document in its place.

(2) If the document is filed or registered and its contents are detected to be defective, false, forged or not capable of rectification, the Registrar may, through order in writing, return or cancel the registration of the document.

(3) If the Registrar returns or cancels the registration of document under sub-section (2), the same shall not be deemed to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Act.

(4) The registration or filing of document with the Registrar does not affect or create a presumption as to the validity or invalidity of the document or the correctness or otherwise of the information contained in it.
