    The heirs of Graciano Neri, Sr. filed an application for judicial confirmation of imperfect title over Lot 2821 located along the CDO River. However, the survey plan submitted for the lot was only approved by the Land Registration Commission and not the Director of the Bureau of Lands as required by law. The Office of the Solicitor General contended there was no compliance with the statutory requirement of approval by the Bureau of Lands. The court ruled that submission of a survey plan approved by the Director of the Bureau of Lands is mandatory. Since the private respondents admitted the plan was not approved by the Bureau of Lands, the title issued over the property is null and void.
