As information is sought, the Thai Constitutional Court on Wednesday cast July 24 as the case’s following receiving date for Srettha Thavisin’s request for more evidence.

The jury earlier this month stated that the case may be resolved before September.

In a speech, the judge requests additional information, including data, from those who were formerly summoned.

Following a complaint filed by 40 military-appointed lawmakers in May, which the constitutional court accepted, the circumstance against Mr. Srettha was brought.

The event seeks to remove the top over the appointment of a lawyer named Pichit Chuenban, who was jailed for contempt of court. According to the problem, Pichit allegedly lacked the moral and ethical standards set forth in the constitution for ministers.

Since then, Pichit has since resigned, and Mr. Srettha has denied any wrongdoing.

Link with Thaksin

After attempting to reward Supreme Court officers by handing them a paper bag containing$ 2 million baht, Pichit and two other associates were given a six-month prison sentence in 2008. Criticisms of his performance as a government secretary disapprove him.

Before Pichit was appointed to the cupboard position, he advised Mr. Srettha. Before that, Pichit served the jail sentence for trying to bribe the Supreme Court by acting as former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s attorney in the “lunchbox money” scandal.

After they attempted to pay Supreme Court officials by handing them a snack with a paper case containing 2 million ringgit in dollars a month earlier, the Supreme Court on June 25, 2008, handed the two of his colleagues a jail sentence.

In the Ratchadaphisek property purchase case, for which Thaksin received a two-year prison sentence in 2008, all three were representing Thaksin and his ex-wife Khunying Potjaman na Pombejra.

At the time, Thaksin was accused of abusing his authority while serving as prime minister to facilitate Khunying Potjaman’s purchase of 33 ray of property from the Bank of Thailand’s Financial Institutions Development Fund ( FIDF) at a reduced rate of 772 million ringgit in 2003.

According to the Supreme Court, he was supposed to set a high case by upholding the ethics code for such a assigned place.

A new government may be established if Mr. Srettha, a political newcomer, is ousted, and congress will need to vote on a new leader member. His decision Pheu Thai party would also need to propose a new leader.

The prime minister’s event is being looked into, as is another issue that calls for the opposition Move Forward Party’s dissolution, which was the surprise party that won the elections last year and which is the largest party in parliament.

The military-appointed Senate prevented Walk Forward from form a government.

According to experts, the two instances have heightened social doubt in the country. &nbsp,

Fang oilfield in Chiang Mai, the oldest oilfield in Thailand, is to be redeveloped at a cost of 300 million baht, according to the Defence Energy Department’s Northern Petroleum Development Centre ( NPDC ).

According to Maj Gen Montri jeennakorn, the chairman of the NPDC, the oil plant was expected to get upgraded to Euro5 and capable of producing lower-sulphur fuel, confirming that the fuel would never harm automobile machines. &nbsp,

At a rate of 600 barrels per day, which is considered too little a volume for personal market traders to take over the area, the current oil refinery was only pump high-sulphur diesel and gasoline fuel.

Accelerating the pumping approach had, in the current circumstances, lead to a quicker decline of the crude fuel. &nbsp,

But, the director said, the oil would last for another 50 years if the pumping process was managed properly. &nbsp,

The army may benefit from the crude we are producing when there is no entry for oil tankers during a war. We ca n’t say for sure whether the private sector’s oil will be sufficient, or whether it is legal, he said.

The Move Forward Party recently requested that the oil be transferred to the federal despite the fact that oil production is never a military work, while the Ministry of Defense was confident that the field would be properly managed in the future. &nbsp,
