SC fines judge for failure to resolve injunction case
The Philippine Star
|November 09, 2024
The Supreme Court (SC) has slapped a fine of P200,000 on a judge over a seven-year delay in the resolution of a petition for writ of preliminary injunction (WPI) against a construction company that allegedly forcibly evicted stallholders in a market in Cainta, Rizal.
In an 11-page decision, the high court found Judge Miguel Asuncion of the Antipolo City regional trial court (RTC) guilty of gross neglect of duty.
The disciplinary action stemmed from a petition for an injunction and damages, filed in 2016 by Rolly Castillo and several other stallholders at the New Cubao Central Market in Rizal, against Alfred Figueras and Princeville Construction and Dev. Corp., accusing the company of forcibly evicting them to take possession of the market.
