AUTHORIZE THE FILING IN THE PROPER COURT, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, OF
CERTAIN CLAIMS OF TITLE TO PARCELS OF LAND THAT HAVE BEEN DECLARED
PUBLIC LAND, BY VIRTUE OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS RENDERED WITHIN THE FORTY
YEARS NEXT PRECEDING THE APPROVAL OF THIS ACT |
| Section 1. All
persons claiming title to parcels of land that have been the object of
cadastral proceedings, who at the time of the survey were in actual
possession of the same, but for some justifiable reason had been unable
to file their claim in the proper court during the time limit
established by law, in case such parcels of land, on account of their
failure to file such claims, have been, or are about to be declared
land of the public domain, by virtue of judicial proceedings instituted
within the forty years next preceding the approval of this Act, are
hereby granted the right within five years after the date on which this
Act shall take effect, to petition for a reopening of the judicial
proceedings under the provisions of Act Numbered Twenty-two hundred and
fifty-nine, as amended, only with respect to such of said parcels of
land as have not been alienated, reserved, leased, granted, or
otherwise provisionally or permanently disposed of by the Government,
and the competent Court of First Instance, upon receiving such
petition, shall notify the Government, through the Solicitor General,
and if after hearing the parties, said court shall find that all
conditions herein established have been complied with, and that all
taxes, interests and penalties thereof have been paid from the time
when land tax should have been collected until the day when the motion
is presented, it shall order said judicial proceedings reopened as if
no action has been taken on such parcels. Section 2. If any claimant entitled to the right granted under the preceding section has filed an application for homestead, free patent, sale or lease of the parcel of land in question under the provisions of Commonwealth Act Numbered One hundred forty-one, otherwise known as the Public Land Act, and the corresponding certificate of title to the same has not yet been issued to him by the Director of lands, the said claimant is hereby granted the option to either withdraw said application or exercise the right granted by this Act. Section 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved: June 20, 1953 |
