Given that the questioned judgment is still on appeal, the filing of administrative charges is
premature. Following the established judicial doctrine, it is only after the available judicial
remedies have been exhausted and the appellate tribunals have spoken with finality, that the door
to an inquiry into his criminal, civil or administrative liability may be said to have opened, or
closed.
