The Constitutional Court Thursday delayed its deliberation on Pheu Thai MP's petition for the court to consider the MP status of Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva.
A source from the court said constitutional court judges needed more time to consider written defence of Abhisit before deliberation the case in details.
The petition against Abhisit was signed by 134 Pheu Thai MPs who accused the Democrat leader of having lost his MP status after the defence minister issued an order to fire him retroactively as a lecturer of a military cadet school.
The MPs reasoned that the Constitution does not allow a person fired from government service to contest for a House seat.
