Political Law, 2020 Bar — Question 4

QUESTION

A provincial ordinance was passed setting a province-wide curfew for all minors. This was challenged through a suit filed before the Regional Trial Court having territorial jurisdiction over the province. The provincial legal officer sought the case’s dismissal on the lone ground that the Supreme Court has sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine the constitutionality of a treaty, law, or ordinance. Should the provincial legal officer’s prayer for dismissal be granted? Explain briefly.
