VELASCO, JR., J.
In this Petition for Review on Certiorari under Rule 45, petitioners assail the January 6, 2003 Decision[1] of the Court of Appeals (CA) in consolidated cases CA-G.R. CV No. 60338[2] and CA-G.R. SP No. 49686[3] which upheld the jurisdiction of Sandiganbayan over a dispute involving the transfer of stocks and subscription rights of respondent Universal Holdings Corporation (UHC), a sequestered company, in favor of petitioners Rodolfo M. Cuenca and Cuenca Investment Corporation (CIC); and its July 15, 2003 Resolution[4] denying petitioners' Motion for Reconsideration.[5]  The consolidated cases originated from Civil Case No. 91-2721 entitled Rodolfo M. Cuenca, et al. v. Independent Realty Corp., et al. filed before the Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 61 CA-G.R. CV No. 60338 being an appeal from the April 23, 1998 Decision rendered by the Makati City RTC, and CA-G.R. SP No. 49686 being a special civil action formerly filed as a petition for certiorari before the Supreme Court, but was remanded to the CA for a review of the denial of the motion for intervention filed by respondent Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG).

VELASCO, JR., J.
The appointment of JAIME C. LAYA as Receiver of defendant UHC is hereby MAINTAINED until finality of this Decision and full execution of this Decision or full compliance herewith by defendants.[24] From the adverse Decision, respondents IRC and UHC appealed to the CA, which was docketed as CA-G.R. CV No. 60338. On the other hand, after the trial court denied respondent PCGG's Motion for Reconsideration[25] through its July 22, 1998 Order,[26] PCGG brought the instant case before this Court in G.R. No. 13516. Said PCGG special civil action was remanded to the CA and docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 49686 entitled Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) v. Hon. Fernando V. Gorospe, as Presiding Judge RTC of Makati City, Branch 61, et al. In the petition before the CA, PCGG also assailed the April 20, 1998 Order of the trial court denying its motion for intervention in Civil Case No. 91-2721.  Thus, the petition for certiorari (CA-G.R. SP No. 49686) and the appeal (CA-G.R. CV No. 60338) were consolidated.
