Retroactivity of Amended Information

The rule may well be that the amendment of a criminal complaint retroacts to the time of the filing of the original complaint. Yet such rule will not apply when the original information is void ab initio, thus incurable by amendment. (People v. Romualdez, G.R. No. 166510, April 29, 2009)
