But MNRE permanent secretary Jatuporn Buruspat said the Phetchaburi Provincial Court gave Mr Chaiwat a stay of execution on This summer 27.
Mr Jatuporn said he would present the court’s judgement towards the civil service sub-committee in order to launch a good appeal within 30 days.
“Nevertheless, the MNRE will stay subject to the Best Court’s judgement, ” he added.
Mr Chaiwat said he has been glad to have been granted the sophistication period. The court also ruled that his offence was related to an claimed dispute against the Karen villagers in the recreation area, rather than being a situation of corruption.
The Public Field Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) had recommended the particular MNRE dismiss Mister Chaiwat and 5 other park authorities due to the burning of about 100 Karen residential homes there in 2011.
Nevertheless , the court mentioned the PACC hadn’t assigned any panel to investigate the matter just before issuing the termination notice to Mister Chaiwat. The PACC’s recommendation may have been illegal. Mr Chaiwat’s income and civil servant welfare benefits were also suspended.
The discharge notice was released by the civil support sub-committee of the MNRE, forwarded by the PACC which claimed he or she was guilty of malfeasance of duty.
