Following its discovery that the opposition Move Forward Party ( MPF ) had violated the constitution in its efforts to amend the lese majeste law, the Constitutional Court requested more information in a petition.

The Election Commission (EC ), which submitted the petition&nbsp, for the MFP’s dissolution earlier this week, &nbsp, has seven days to supply additional documents, as some evidence submitted was unclear, the court said in a statement.

The judge did not specify when it would determine whether to consider the case. &nbsp,

After the court’s ruling on January 31 that the MFP’s continuing efforts to change Area 112 of the Criminal Code, the der majeste legislation, indicated an intention to destroy the constitutional monarchy, the EC universally requested on March 12 to ask the charter court to dissolve the MFP.

The commission contends that the MFP violated Section 92 of the natural law governing political parties in light of the ruling.

Any party that appears to be in danger of dissolving under the law is allowed to do so by the court under the provisions of the part.

Additionally, the judge directed Move Forward to halt any Section 112. attempts to modify Section 112.

Campaigning on the topic may be viewed as an attempt to end the legal king, according to the statement, and it would be in violation of Section 49 of the law.

Any lese majoreste issue must be filed by the Royal Household Bureau, according to the MFP’s proposed revisions. It even called for reduced words.

The courts pointed to the previous steps of Pita Limjaroenrat, the group’s former president, as well as those by the MFP in common, including its applications for loan for suspects in der guess cases.

Fourty-four of the group’s MPs, including its chief adviser Mr. Pita, may be subject to a democratic ban for life because they are currently the subject of an investigation into whether they broke the ethics code by attempting to amend the der majeste&nbsp law.
