the railway manager as sublessee is substituted for the State as a party to any lesser registered interest.
Also, when the registrar of titles registers the sublease in the leasehold land register—
the State’s rights and obligations in an unregistered right in the section of the land are taken to be vested in the railway manager as sublessee; and
the railway manager is substituted for the State as a party to the unregistered right.
