[13B. Appeals from decisions of Registrar---(1) Any person who is
 aggrieved by the refusal of the Registrar to register a society, or to
 register or receive any document submitted to him under this Act or who
 is aggrieved by any other act or decision of the Registrar under this
 Act, may appeal to the High Court within 21 days after the date of the
 refusal or other act or decision, or within such further time as the
 High Court may allow.

   (2) On hearing the appeal, the High Court may confirm the refusal or
 other act or decision of the Registrar, or give such directions or make
 such determination in the matter as the High Court thinks fit.

   (3) No right of appeal shall lie under this section against any act or
 decision of the Registrar---
   (a) In respect of which there is any express provision in this Act in
         the nature of an appeal or review; or
   (b) That is declared by this Act to be conclusive or final, or that is
         embodied in any document declared by this Act to be conclusive
         evidence of any act, decision, matter, or thing.

   (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Act or any rule of law,
 where a person appeals or applies to the High Court in respect of an act
 or decision of the Registrar under section 13A of this Act, until a
 decision on the appeal or application is given, the Registrar, and any
 person authorised by him under that section for the purpose, may
 continue to exercise his powers under that section as if no such appeal
 or application had been made, and no person shall be excused from
 fulfilling his obligations under that section by reason of that appeal
 or application:

   Provided that, to the extent that an appeal or application in respect
 of any such act or decision is allowed or granted, as the case may
 be,---
   (a) The Registrar shall ensure that, forthwith after the decision on
         the appeal or application is given, all records made by him, or
         by a person authorised by him for that purpose, under section
         13A (1) (c) of this Act in respect of that act or decision are
         destroyed or expunged; and
   (b) No information acquired under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of
         section 13A (1) of this Act in respect of that act or decision
         shall be admissible in evidence in any proceedings.]
