No. 175991; August 31, 2011
JOSE
R. CATACUTAN vs. PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Facts:
Petitioner
Jose Catacutan was held guilty before the Sandiganbayan for the violation of Section 3(e) of RA 3019(Anti-Graft and Corrupt
Practices Act) for his refusal to
implement the promotion and appointments of Georgito Posesano and
Magdalena A. Divinagracia as Vocational Supervisors III despite the directive
of CHED and the Civil Service commission. Catacutan questioned the judgment,
contending that he was denied due process when he was not allowed to present
the CA judgment, dismissing the adiminstrative case against him.
Issue:
Whether or not the judgment, finding petitioner guilty of
violating RA 3019, was well founded despite the refusal of the trial court to
admit the dismissal of the administrative case as evidence.
