DIRANA VS.T7LIAO @86 SCRA ?==(26)

(I am allowing you to hate me for this digest. Sobrang gulong-gulo ako.Ill just attach the original. The issue raised by the petitioners kasi is notabout bail, but the court discussed it in such a way that bail gotincluded. They contrasted. asically, it just says the court ac!uires

jurisdiction o"er the person of the accused when he#she submitsmotions, etc e"en if hes not detained. ut the e$ception is the petitionfor admission to bail

% the accused has to be held in detention in such case. Since were in ahurry, I think thats the only thing we need, or so I make myself belie"e.&

Our pronouncement in *antiago sho!s a distinction bet!eencustod of the la! and urisdiction over the person. Custod ofthe la! is reuired before the court can act upon the applicationfor bail, but is not reuired for the adudication of other reliefssought b the defendant !here the mere application thereforconstitutes a !aiver of the defense of lack of urisdiction over the

person of the accused.+Custod of the la! is accomplished either

b arrest or voluntar surrender, !hile urisdiction over the

person of the accused is acuired upon his arrest or voluntar

appearance.-

One can be under the custod of the la! but notet subect to the urisdiction of the court over his person, such as

!hen a person arrested b virtue of a !arrant files a motionbefore arraignment to uash the !arrant. On the other hand, onecan be subect to the urisdiction of the court over his person, andet not be in the custod of the la!, such as !hen an accused

escapes custod after his trial has commenced.--

Being in thecustod of the la! signifies restraint on the person, !ho isthereb deprived of his o!n !ill and libert, binding him to

become obedient to the !ill of the la!.-/

Custod of the la! isliterall custod over the bod of the accused. 0t includes, but isnot limited to, detention.

1 $here can be no uestion, as indeed it is uite clear, that inthe case at bar, the Order of dismissal issued b theMunicipal Court did not actuall terminate or put an end tothe prosecution against herein private respondent for thefelonious act he !as alleged to have committed. On thecontrar, the dispositive portion of said Order e3pressldirected that the records of the case be for!arded to theCourt of "irst 0nstance so that the Office of the Provincial"iscal could file a complaint for frustrated murder.

o Since the order of dismissal was without authority and,therefore, null and "oid, the proceedings before the

proceedings against the accused for serious physical
