CECILIA V. MENDOZA, ON BEHALF OF HER BROTHER-IN-LAW, PRISONER SOSTENES MENDOZA, PETITIONER, VS. DIRECTOR OF PRISONS, RESPONDENT.

CRIMINAL LAW; PARDON; UNDERSTANDING HAD WITH IMPERIAL JAPANESE FORCES AS TO PARDON, NOT PROVEN.—The allegation that there was an understanding with the Imperial Forces that the convict would be granted pardon after six months work in the military installation in Davao was not proven. A computation of his service of the penalty shows that it has not yet expired. So, petition for habeas corpus is denied.
