Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the possession of one co-heir is considered as possession of all co-heirs, and to establish adverse possession, there must be evidence of ouster and open assertion of hostile title. The Court found that the respondent did not lose his right by adverse possession, as the Receiver's possession could not be tacked onto H's possession, and limitation could not run against the respondent during the Receiver's tenure. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decree that the respondent was entitled to his share of the properties.
