G.R. No. 156394 | 2005-01-21



SECOND DIVISION
DECISION

CHICO-NAZARIO, J.:

Before the Court is a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court filed by the People of the Philippines through the Office of the Ombudsman, assailing the 02 August 2002 Resolution of the Fourth Division of the Sandiganbayan (public respondent) which granted the Motion to Quash the Information filed by Sergio F. Emprese, Sr. (private respondent) in Criminal Case No. 27136, entitled “People of the Philippines versus Sergio Emprese, Sr.,” and the 11 September 2002 Resolution denying petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration.[1]

It would be useful to trace the origin of the case.
