Ownership must be established through valid documentation and evidence of possession; failure to do so results in dismissal of claims.
Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate ownership or possession over the ancestral property, while defendants proved their title through documented evidence, leading to suit dismissal.
The plaintiff failed to establish ownership of the suit properties through oral partition, leading to the dismissal of his appeal against concurrent findings of fact.
