The
People is the real party in interest in a criminal case and only the OSG can
represent the People in criminal proceedings pending in the CA or in this
Court. This ruling has been repeatedly stressed in several cases and continues
to be the controlling doctrine.
While
there may be rare occasions when the offended party may be allowed to pursue
the criminal action on his own behalf (as when there is a denial of due
process), this exceptional circumstance does not apply in the present case (Dante
LA. Jimenez, etc. Vs. Hon. Edwin Sorongon, etc., et al., G.R. No. 178607. December 5, 2012).
