FACTS:
ISSUE:
Whether or not the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to
issue writ s of habeas corpus in cases involving custody of minors.
RULING:
There is no doubt that the Court of Appeals and Supreme
Court have concurrent jurisdiction with the Family Court to issue
writs of habeas corpus where the custody of minor is involved. Thus,
R.A. 8369 must be in harmony with R.A. 7029 (An Act Expanding the
jurisdiction of Court of Appeals) and Batas Pambansa 129 ( The
Judiciary Reorganization Act of 1980) in petition of habeas corpus.
Wherefore, the petition is hereby GRANTED and hereby
REINSTATED and REMANDED to the Court of Appeals.
