G.R. No. 98328 | 1997-10-09

D E C I S I O N

PANGANIBAN, J:

Is there denial of due process if an applicant for land registration is unable to testify? May a land registration court, after it is convinced that the property subject of an application for registration under the torrens system is already covered by an existing certificate, dismiss such application and thus ignore petitioner's insistence on submitting further evidence of his alleged title? What constitutes sufficient evidence to show identity of the land applied for with the land already titled in favor of private respondent?

The Case

These are the main questions raised in this petition for review...
