GENERAL PRINCIPLES: Hierarchy of Courts, Doctrine of Non-Interference, and Judicial Stability

In a criminal case involving a high-ranking government official, the Office of the Ombudsman filed a motion before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) to withdraw the information and dismiss the case due to insufficient evidence. The RTC granted the motion and dismissed the case. Dissatisfied with the RTC's decision, the private complainant filed a petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals (CA), seeking to set aside the RTC's order of dismissal.

Discuss the following:

  1. What is the principle of hierarchy of courts? Explain its significance in the Philippine justice system.
  2. Does the doctrine of non-interference apply in the given case? Explain why or why not.
  3. Can the private complainant directly file a petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals, bypassing the RTC, in this particular scenario? Discuss the applicable rules and principles.
  4. How does the doctrine of judicial stability affect the resolution of cases in the Philippine legal system? Explain with reference to the given case.
