The Supreme Court ruled that land return proceedings must be suspended when a state entity holds perpetual use rights, even if the land was needed for the expropriation decision's purpose before December 5, 1990. The Ombudsman argued for immediate return, but the Court found that granting a return order while the state holds a real right would create legal contradictions regarding property ownership. Consequently, the Court established that the existence of a valid return claim cannot serve as a basis to terminate the perpetual use right held in good faith by the state entity.
