jeopardy. In the case of U.S. vs. Perez, this Court held that a
motion to quash on the ground that the facts charged do not
constitute an offense cannot allege new facts not only different
but diametrically opposed to those alleged in the complaint. This
rule admits of only one exception and that is when such facts are
admitted by the prosecution.
Same; Same; Same; Same; Same; An order granting a motion
to quash is a final order, not merely interlocutory, and is
immediately appealable; Double jeopardy cannot be claimed by the
accused as the dismissal of the case was secured not only with his
consent but at his instance.—Respondent's contention holds no
water. An order granting a motion to quash, unlike one of denial,
is a final order. It is not merely interlocutory and is therefore
immediately appealable. The accused cannot claim double
jeopardy as the dismissal was secured not only with his consent
but at his instance.
