	GR No. 149039 and GR No. 149362 2004-05-27	CATALINA SECURITY AGENCY v. ALICIA B. GONZALEZ-DECANO PRESIDING JUDGE OF RTC QUISUMBING, J.
The Office of the Solicitor General, for the State, shares the petitioner's contention. According to the OSG, the confiscation of the firearm is not only contrary to Article 45 of the Revised Penal Code, it also runs afoul the constitutional guaranty of due process since petitioner was never indicted nor even made a party in the case. The OSG cites People v. Delgado[48] where we ruled that the trial court cannot order the forfeiture of goods, the owner of which is not indicted. Likewise, he cites Ang Ping v. Court of Appeals,[49] that before a person can be deprived of his property, he should first be informed of the claim against him and the reason upon which such claim is premised. The OSG concludes that there are no grounds, legal or logical, to justify the decision of the respondent judge directing the confiscation of petitioner's firearm after the completion of appellant's trial and his conviction.
