Supreme Court junks petitions vs NCAP

MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed the consolidated petitions challenging the legality of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) implemented by several Metro Manila local government units (LGUs).

In a decision penned by Associate Justice Rodil N. Zalameda and promulgated on June 3, 2026, but made public Thursday,  the SC said it ruled that the legal challenges were rendered moot by recent regulatory shifts.

It specifically cited the adoption of a unified traffic code across the metropolis as the primary reason the original disputes no longer required judicial intervention. /gsg
