So far as AP is concerned the registration is optional.You can ask for reasons for the non-admission of your documents. In case he is not giving reasons you can approach the Hon' High court by filing a writ petition under Art 226 of the constitution of India. I am sure you will get registration since there is no time limit prescribed therein and the action of the ROF appears to be arbitrary from the facts stated by you.
