SERENO, C.J.
In view of the foregoing, this Court’s previous rulings on Article 448 cannot be applied to this case. Hence, we hold that petitioners, as the owners of the land, have the right to appropriate what has been built on the property, without any obligation to pay indemnity therefor;[65] and that respondents have no right to a refund of any improvement built therein,[66] pursuant to Articles 449 and 450 of the Civil Code:Art. 449. He who builds, plants or sows in bad faith on the land of another, loses what is built, planted or sown without right of indemnity.
