    The Sandiganbayan did not have jurisdiction over charges of plunder against individuals because none of the accused occupied positions with a salary grade of 27 or higher as required by law for the anti-graft court to have jurisdiction. The Supreme Court upheld the accused's challenge to the Sandiganbayan's jurisdiction as the individuals did not meet the salary grade threshold according to the law defining the Sandiganbayan's jurisdiction over plunder charges.
