DAVIDE, JR., J.:

This is a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, with a prayer for the issuance of a preliminary mandatory injunction, to modify the 25 May 1988 Decision 1 of the Court of Appeals in C.A.-G. R. SP Nos. 11090-93 which nullified the order of Branch 48 of the Regional Trial Court 2 (RTC) of Pangasinan in CAR Cases Nos. 760-802 and 806-810 dated 29 October 1985. The order adverted to dismissed the said cases for lack of jurisdiction and advised the parties to file the same before the Ministry of Agrarian Reform.

In issue then is the jurisdiction of the Regional Trial Courts...
