Resolution
The suggested workarounds to this problem include:
1) Bring the SQL Server instance on to same version as that of the backup file, so that you could perform the system database restore.
2) Restore the System databases on another test server which has the same SQL Server version and then extract the required data and create the same on which ever server required.
3) Attempt to restore the database as a User database and then extract the required data from it.
