                    [Summary] => The Supreme Court ordered all judges to resolve the cases assigned to them within the prescribed period otherwise they will face the risk of being sanctioned.


This after a judge in Negros Oriental was slapped with a P20,000 fine for delaying to resolve cases assigned to his sala before he retired from the service three years ago.


But because Judge Felix G. Gaudiel Jr., who used to preside the Regional Trial Court Branch 64 in Guihulngan town, already retired from service on December 4, 2002, his penalty will be deducted from his retirement benefits.

"Freedom of speech and expression, like other constitutional freedoms, is not absolute. It is subject to the limitations of equally important public interests such as the maintenance of the integrity and orderly functioning of the administration of justice," the high tribunal told Aurelio Arrienda.
