SC Dismisses Petition Assailing EO giving CESO Rank to Gov't Lawyers

In a unanimous En Banc decision the Supreme Court found no reason to reach the merits of the petition and pass upon the validity of EO 883 as the said Executive Order had already been revoked by EO 3 issued by President Aquino. The Court ruled that to pass upon the validity of EO 883 would transgress the requirement of case and controversy as precondition for the Court's exercise of judicial review. The Court also ruled that petitioner does not allege to have suffered any violation of a right vested in him under EO 883. 
In the said EO 883 issued by then President Arroyo, officers and employees "occupying legal positions in the government executive service" who have obtained graduate degrees in law and successfully passed the Bar examinations were granted the rank of CESO III (G.R. No. 192926, Sana v. CESB, November 15, 2011)
