The Supreme Administrative Court delivered its judgment in case black number A.2001/2566 and red number A.702/2569, involving plaintiff Niphon Bunyamanee against the first defendant, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), and the second defendant, the Minister of Interior.
The core of the ruling focuses on revoking Ministry of Interior Order No. 1528/2564, dated June 25, 2021, which previously ordered the plaintiff to be removed from the position of President of the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) during his term from August 4, 2013, to June 27, 2019.
This supreme court ruling highlights the strict adherence required by state agencies regarding administrative procedures. Regardless of the underlying allegations or investigations, if an official order fails to follow the prescribed legal format, steps, or methodologies, the order is deemed unlawful and must be rescinded to safeguard due process for local political figures.
The court reasoned that the removal order failed to comply with the essential forms, steps, and procedures mandated by law for executing such administrative actions, rendering the removal legally invalid.
