SORIANO MATA vs HON.
JOSEPHINE K. BAYONA
FACTS:
The
contention is that the search warrant issued by respondent Judge was based
merely on application for Search Warrant and a joint affidavit of private
respondents which were wrongfully allegedly subscribed, and sworn to before the
Clerk of Court. Furthermore, there was allegedly a failure on the part of the
respondent Judge to attach the necessary papers pertinently under PD 810, as
amended by PD1306, the information against him alleging that Soriano Mata
offered, took, and arrangedvbets on the Jai Alai game by “selling illegal
tickets knows as Masiao tickets without any authority from the Philippine Jai
Alai and Corporation or from the government authorities concerned.
ISSUE:
Whether
or not Search Warrant is valid?
HELD:
No.
The Search Warrant is declared as illegal.
RATIONALE:
Deposition,
sometimes used in a broad sense to describe any written statement verified by
oath; but in its more technical and appropriate sense the meaning of the word
is limited to written testimony of a witness given in the course of a judicial
proceeding in advance of the trial or hearing upon oral examination.
Mere
affidavits of the complainant and his witnesses are thus not sufficient. The examining
Judge has to take depositions in writing of the complainant and the witnesses
he may produce and to attach them to the record. Such written deposition is necessary
in order that the Judge may be able to property determine the existence or
non-existence of the probable cause, to hold liable for perjury the person
giving if it will be found later his declarations are false.
