| It is settled that courts do not entertain a moot question. An issue becomes moot and academic when it ceases to present a justiciable controversy, so that a declaration on the issue would be of no practical use or value.[55] This Court, therefore, abstains from expressing its opinion in a case where no legal relief is needed or called for.[56] | |||||
