Galang-Castillo v.
Heirs of Lucman
GR Number: G.R. No. 211911
Summary:
This case involves a dispute over the ownership of parcels of land in Quezon City. The
complainants and intervenors, who are registered owners of the lots, filed complaints for
quieting of title with damages against the late Ali Basir Lucman, the Register of Deeds of
Quezon City, and the City Assessor. The Regional Trial Court (RTC) ruled in favor of the
complainants and intervenors, declaring their titles valid and subsisting and nullifying
Lucman's title. However, the Court of Appeals (CA) reversed the RTC's decision, stating that
Lucman's title is older and superior. The complainants and intervenors appealed to the
Supreme Court.
Doctrine:
In cases where there are two certificates of title covering the same land, the earlier in date must
prevail as between the parties claiming ownership over it. The rule on successive registrations
applies, which states that the person claiming under the prior certificate is entitled to the estate
or interest, and that person is deemed to hold under the prior certificate who is the holder of the
earliest certificate issued in respect thereof.
