D E C I S I O N


NARVASA, J.:

The principal question in the proceedings at bar is whether or not an action of unlawful detainer filed in the Municipal Trial Court against a lessee grounded on the expiration of the latter's lease should be abated or suspended by an action filed in the Regional Trial Court by the defendant lessee on the claim that he is entitled to a right of preemption (or prior purchase) of the premises in question and wishes to have said right judicially enforced.

The question arises from facts not disputed and now briefly narrated.
