Antonio v. Alvaro

Summary

This case involves a property dispute between co-owners where petitioner Antonio V. Estrella sought to exclude respondents Josefina S. Alvaro and others from possession of their commonly owned property through an accion publiciana. The Court of Appeals ruled that as co-owners, petitioner had no superior right to exclude the other co-owners from possession. The Supreme Court affirmed this decision, denying the petition for failure to show reversible error. The case establishes that co-owners have equal rights to possession and one co-owner cannot exclude others from enjoying possession of the commonly owned property through an accion publiciana.
