based on the extensive evaluation and treatment of Pellazar’s medical
condition by the company doctors. Under a Rule 65 petition, the CA does not
determine which of the conflicting findings or assessment should be
preferred; but rather, whether in deciding to uphold one over the other, the
NLRC exceeded the bounds of its jurisdiction or committed grave abuse of
discretion. The CA’s finding in this regard finds no support in its decision
because of its misplaced reliance on the 120-day period, as earlier
discussed.
Based on the foregoing, we deny the petition.
WHEREFORE, the petition is DENIED. The Decision and Resolution dated 26 January
2010 and 12 April 2010, respectively of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 110168
are AFFIRMED.
SO ORDERED.
