Academics from the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) said yesterday that the documents necessary for their Constitution Court petition against the government's rice-pledging scheme were ready.
Adis Israngkura na Ayudhaya, NIDA's dean of the Economic Development Faculty, had readied all the documents required by the court, spokesman Pimol Thampitakpong said yesterday.
Academics from NIDA, the Thammasat University as well as some students lodged a petition with the court last week asking it to rule on the government’s price-intervention scheme, which they say is unconstitutional.
Adis submitted nine sets of documents, including an academic paper written by economist and former member of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Medhe Krongkaew.
The court accepted the documents but did not say whether the judges would consider the case in their next round of meetings on October 10, the spokesman said.
