| The Court agrees with private respondent Herbosa that this case has been rendered moot and academic. It is a rule of universal application, almost, that courts of justice constituted to pass upon substantial rights will not consider questions in which no actual interests are involved; they decline jurisdiction of moot cases.[8] And where the issue has become moot and academic, there is no justiciable controversy, so that a declaration thereon would be of no practical use or value.[9] There is no actual substantial relief to which petitioner would be entitled, and which would be negated by the dismissal of the petition. | |||||
