People v Grospe; G.R. Nos. 74053-

54; 20 Jan 1988; 157 SCRA 154
Published on 11 December 2017 — in Legal Chyme — by Claudine

FACTS:
After proceeding
with the trial
against
respondent-
accused for
violation of Batas
Pambansa Blg. 22
and the crime of
estafa, respondent
judge dismissed
the cases for lack
of jurisdiction. The
People led a petition for certiorari challenging the dismissal of
the two criminal cases.

ISSUE(S):
Whether or not respondent-accused will be placed in double
jeopardy if the dismissal will be set aside.

HELD:
NO. The questioned judgment was not an adjudication on the
merits. It was a dismissal upon respondent judge’s erroneous
conclusion that his court had no “territorial jurisdiction” over
the cases. The dismissal being null and void, the proceedings
before the trial court may not be said to have been lawfully
terminated. There is therefore no second proceeding which
would subject the accused to double jeopardy.

Decision of respondent judge is SET ASIDE and he is ordered to

REASSUME JURISDICTION over the criminal cases and to
RENDER JUDGMENT of either conviction or acquittal.
