Competence and diligence are prerequisites to the due performance of judicial office. Judges are enjoined to perform all judicial duties, including the delivery of reserved decisions efficiently, fairly, AND WITH REASONABLE PROMPTNESS.
Mandatory rules prescribing the time to render judgment and to resolve pending incidents within 90 days from the time of submission for resolution are considered absolutely indispensable to the prevention of needless delays and the orderly and speedy discharge of judicial business.
The failure to decide a case within the required period is inexcusable as it constitutes GROSS INEFFICIENCY AND NEGLECT OF DUTY warranting administrative sanction.
