  • The Supreme Administrative Court delivered its verdict in case Black No. A.2001/2566 and Red No. A.702/2569.
  • The court upheld the revocation of Interior Ministry Order No. 1528/2564 dated June 25, 2021.
  • The dismissal of Niphon Bunyamanee was ruled unlawful due to procedural and formal flaws.

On August 3 at the Central Administrative Court, the Supreme Administrative Court read its ruling in case Black No. A.2001/2566 and Red No. A.702/2569, involving plaintiff Niphon Bunyamanee and defendants including the National Anti-Corruption Commission and the Minister of the Interior.

The core of the legal dispute centered around Interior Ministry Order No. 1528/2564, issued on June 25, 2021, which stripped Niphon Bunyamanee of his position as President of the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization (OrBorJ) for his term running from August 4, 2013, to June 27, 2019.

Administrative court rulings of this nature typically focus heavily on public law compliance, particularly whether state agencies strictly adhered to prescribed legal procedures and formalities. The court's decision to revoke the order due to improper form or procedure highlights the vital role of administrative justice in reviewing state power and ensuring due process for political officeholders.
