    The Supreme Court ruled that while an immunity statute protects the Ombudsman from lawsuits, it does not prevent the Supreme Court from reviewing whether the Ombudsman properly exercised discretion in investigating cases. The Court found the Ombudsman exceeded its authority by dismissing a complaint without conducting an inquiry. The Court ordered the Ombudsman to investigate the complaint.
