Court defers action on Article 68 amendment, awaits more details

The Constitutional Court Wednesday postponed the judicial review of four petitions against the Article 68 amendment, pending the filing of written explanations by the Parliament president and Senate speaker.

Constitutional Court judges decided to wait for Parliament President Somsak Kiartsuranon and Senate Speaker Nikhom Wairatphanich to submit their written defence to the court for the petition filed by Warin Thimacharas before the court would start the review.
Warin’s petition was among four petitions submitted to the court, asking it to consider whether the ongoing process to amend Article 68 was deemed an attempt to topple the constitutional government or not.
