"In the
Supreme Court,
eighteen (18) legible copies of such pleadings, briefs, memoranda,
motions
and other papers shall be filed in cases for consideration of the court
en banc and nine (9) copies in cases to be heard before a
division.
Only two (2) copies thereof need be served upon each of the adverse
parties
in either case. For this purpose, the following are considered en
banc
cases:
"[b] Criminal cases in which the decision imposes the death penalty. "[c] Cases raising novel questions of law. "[d] Cases affecting ambassadors, public ministers and consuls. "[e] Cases where a doctrine or principle laid down by the Court en banc or in division may be modified or reversed. "[f] Cases assigned to a division including motions for reconsideration which in the opinion of at least three (3) members merit the attention of the Court en banc and are acceptable by a majority vote of the actual membership of the Court en banc. "[g] All other cases as the Court en banc, by a majority of its actual membership may deem of sufficient importance to merit its attention. "[h] Cases where the penalty to be imposed is the dismissal of a judge, officer, or employee of the Supreme Court, disbarment of a lawyer, or suspension of any of them for a period of more than six [6] months. "[i] Cases involving decisions, resolutions or orders of the Sandiganbayan, Commission on Election, Commission on Audit, or Military Tribunals. "[j] Habeas
