“It may be added here that when Araneta objected to the original
record on appeal, it was only on the ground of omission of certain
papers therein, not for its being out of time. Under the omnibus
motion rule, the objection of untimeliness was waived by Araneta,
and it is reasonable to assume that he would not have raised such
a clearly jurisdictional fatality, if in fact the original Doronila
record on appeal had been filed out of time. Since the purpose of
the strict rule of literal compliance with the ‘material data rule’ is
to avoid debate on the timeliness of the appeal, and there is here
no occasion for such debate, such timeliness being a matter no
longer disputable by Araneta, it should follow that the amended

court approving the same includes the finding that the original
thereof had been filed

“14. It is hereby agreed and understood that any and all actions
arising out of the conditions and provisions of this ticket,
irrespective of where it is issued, shall be filed in the competent

courts in the City of Cebu.”

The motion was denied by the trial court. Petitioner5
moved
to reconsider the order of denial, but to no avail. Hence,
this instant petition for prohibition with preliminary
injunction, alleging that the respondent judge had departed
from the “accepted and usual course of judicial proceeding”
and “had acted without or in excess or 6 in error of his
jurisdiction or in gross abuse of discretion.”
In Our resolution of November 20, 1973, We restrained
respondent Judge from proceeding further 7
with the case
and required respondents to comment. On January 18,
1974, We gave due course 8
to the petition and required
respondents to answer. Therefter, the parties submitted
their respective
9
memoranda in support of their respective
contentions.

of his jurisdiction in issuing the orders complained of.
On the other hand, private respondents claim that
Condition No. 14 is not valid; that the same is not an
essential element of the contract of carriage, being in itself
a different agreement which requires the mutual consent of
the parties to it; that they had no say in its preparation,
the existence of which they could not refuse, hence, they
had no choice but to pay for the tickets and to avail of
petitioner’s shipping facilities out of necessity; that the
carrier “has been exacting too much from the public by
inserting impositions in the passage tickets too burdensome
to bear;” that the condition which was printed in fine
letters is an imposition on the13 riding public and does not
bind respondents, citing cases; that while venue of actions
