| The judicial determination of probable cause, on the other hand, is one made by the judge to ascertain whether a warrant of arrest should be issued against the accused. The judge must satisfy himself that based on the evidence submitted, there is necessity for placing the accused under custody in order not to frustrate the ends of justice.[24] If the judge finds no probable cause, the judge cannot be forced to issue the arrest warrant.[25] | |||||

| A judge fails in his bounden duty if he relies merely on the certification of the investigating officer as to the existence of probable cause[13] making him administratively liable. We can do no less in the case of herein respondent who issued the subject warrant of arrest without even such certification to rely upon, and worse, merely at the instance of the Criminal Docket Clerk who mechanically typed the Warrant of Arrest for his signature. | |||||
