READ: Army, police officials in ‘Morong 43’ case seek quashing of raps“In fine, the Sandiganbayan did not commit any grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction in denying the motion to quash information,” the Court said. Rather, each case shall be scrutinized according to the facts and circumstances peculiar thereto. Considering that the perceived delays in the instant case were justified, the case against the petitioners shall not be dismissed,” the Court said. The Morong 43 were arrested on suspicion that they were members of the New People’s Army (NPA). They were released in December 2010 after the Department of Justice withdrew the criminal charges filed against them.
