Holding
The petitioners' claims are dismissed as the land was privately registered and never public land. They have no right to claim the land through prescription or adverse possession.
Facts
Petitioners claim to have occupied land that was fraudulently registered as public land by respondents. The land is now privately registered and was not public land at any time.
Issues
- Whether the occupied land was public land acquired irregularly by respondents.
- Whether petitioners' constitutional rights were violated.
- Whether petitioners are entitled to the relief sought.
Reasoning
The petitioners' allegations of fraud and public land acquisition are not supported by evidence. The land was privately registered and has never been public land. The petitioners cannot claim adverse possession against privately registered land.
