tion wherein, among other things, the Fiscal is urged to move for
dismissal for the reason that the check involved having been
issued for the payment of a pre-existing obligation the liability of
the drawer can only be civil and not criminal.
The motion’s thrust being to induce this Court to resolve the
innocence of the accused on evidence not before it but on that
adduced before the Undersecretary of Justice, a matter that not
only disregards the requirements of due process but also erodes
the Court’s independence and integrity, the motion is considered
as without merit and therefore hereby DENIED.
WHEREFORE, let the arraignment be, as it is hereby set for
December 18, 1978 11at 9:00 o’clock in the morning.
SO ORDERED.”
