SC denies Magic-Malasiqui petition
IT’S final. The leasing of the public land in Malasiqui to Magic Group of Companies is illegal.
The Third Division of the Supreme Court has resolved to deny with finality the petition for review on certiorari filed by the Magic Group of Companies on the lease of a portion of a public property in Malasiqui town for conversion into a mall site.
The resolution, issued on April 14, 2014, denied the petitioner’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s resolution dated Dec. 11, 2012 that reversed and set aside the decision of the Regional Trial Court of San Carlos City upholding the resolution of the Sangguniang Bayan of Malasiqui which leases the property to Magic.
A notice from SC’s Third Division signed by Lucita Abjelina Soriano, division Clerk of Court, stated, “ No further pleadings of motions shall be entertained in this case. Let entry of judgment be made in due course.”
The notice also says that “no substantial arguments were raised (by the petitioner) to warrant a reconsideration thereof”.
The resolution of the Third Division of the Supreme Court was in connection with the case filed by town residents Mario T. Armas and Osmundo Lambino against Malasiqui Mayor Armando T. Domantay, Sr.. et al. questioning the lease.
The RTC of San Carlos City issued a decision in favor of Domantay et al., which was then elevated by the petitioners to the higher court.–LVM
