| It is well-recognized that if a person obtains a title under the Public Land Act which includes, by oversight, lands which cannot be registered under the Torrens system, or when the Director of Lands did not have jurisdiction over the same because it is a public domain, the grantee does not, by virtue of the said certificate of title alone, become the owner of the land or property illegally included.[48] Otherwise stated, property of the public domain is incapable of registration and its inclusion in a title nullifies that title.[49] | |||||
