Reinstatement of former Kaeng Krachan National Park head following a legal decision declared wrongful termination by the highest court
The Supreme Administrative Court of Thailand has confirmed the wrongful dismissal of Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn, the former chief of Kaeng Krachan National Park. The court's ruling highlighted an unlawful and unfair investigation process as the primary reason for the decision.
The court found that the investigation process conducted against Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn was flawed, leading to the wrongful dismissal. This suggests that there were procedural errors or biases in the investigation that undermined its integrity.
One of the key details from the ruling is the lack of opportunity for Chaiwat to respond to the allegations during the investigation. Although the specific details are not detailed in the available reports, it is implied that part of the unfairness was related to Chaiwat not having a proper chance to defend himself.
As a result of the court's ruling, Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn has been reinstated to his position. This decision reflects the court's stance that the dismissal was based on an unlawful process and that he should be returned to his former role.
The case against Chaiwat stemmed from charges filed by the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) for his involvement in the burning of shelters in 2011. However, the Supreme Administrative Court noted that the case did not involve an act of corruption for personal gain but rather a failure to adhere to preventive and anti-corruption measures.
