For injunction to issue, two requisites
must concur: first, there must be a right to be protected and second, the acts
against which the injunction is to be directed are violative of said right. Here, the two requisites are clearly
present: there is a right to be protected, that is, respondents’ right over
their concrete fence which cannot be removed without due process; and the act,
the summary demolition of the concrete fence, against which the injunction is
directed, would violate said right. If
petitioner indeed found respondents’ fence to have encroached on the sidewalk,
his remedy is not to demolish the same summarily after respondents failed to
heed his request to remove it. Instead,
he should go to court and prove respondents’ supposed violations in the
construction of the concrete fence.
Indeed, unless a thing is a nuisance per
se, it may not be abated summarily without judicial intervention. (Jaime Perez vs. Sps.
Fortunate L. Madrona & Yolanda b. Pante, G.R. No. 184478, March 21, 2012,
VILLARAMA, JR., J.).
