SECOND DIVISION

[G.R. No. 37795. February 16, 1933. ]

RURAL TRANSIT CO., LTD., Complainant-Appellant, v. CARMELITA VIUDA DE SISON, Respondent-Appellee.

Mariano Ezpeleta for Appellant.

Pastor L. de Guzman for Appellee.

SYLLABUS


1. PUBLIC SERVICE; CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE. — Although it was provided in the decision on the application in a prior case that for the first violation of the tariff set forth in said decision the Public Service Commission could cancel the applicant’s certificate of public convenience, nevertheless such provision did not oblige the commission to cancel applicant’s certificate upon complaint of the adverse party.

2. ID.; SMALL FINE; DISCRETION OF COMMISSION. — The small fine of P10 imposed by the commission in that case does not constitute an abuse of discretion of the commission.
