As a
rule, one who
seeks an affirmative
relief is deemed
to have submitted to
the jurisdiction of the court.
Filing pleadings seeking affirmative
relief constitutes voluntary
appearance, and the
consequent jurisdiction of one's person to the jurisdiction of the
court.
Thus, by
filing several motions before the RTC seeking the dismissal of
the criminal case,
respondent Alamil voluntarily
submitted to the jurisdiction of
the RTC. Custody of the law is
not required for
the adjudication of reliefs other than an application for bail (Dante
LA. Jimenez, etc. Vs. Hon. Edwin Sorongon, etc., et al., G.R. No. 178607. December 5, 2012).
