MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) will resume on Tuesday the oral arguments over the petition challenging the legality of the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP) for traffic violations in Metro Manila.

The Supreme Court stopped the implementation of the NCAP on Aug. 30 after several petitions questioned its constitutionality.

During the oral arguments last Dec. 6, government lawyers, led by Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra, asked the high court to lift the temporary restraining order against the policy.

The measure has been opposed by vehicle owners because they claimed that apart from its stiff fines, it is unconstitutional as it violates their right to due process.
