Former top judge asks His Majesty the King to overturn his dismissal

Former Supreme Administrative Court president Hassawut Withitwiriyakul Monday appealed to His Majesty the King to overturn the Administrative Court's decision to dismiss him.

Hassawut filed the petition with the Office of HM’s Principal Private Secretary, seeking justice after the court’s judicial commission on September 23 ruled that he should be sacked for his alleged involvement in a police promotion scandal. 
Hassawut was accused of directing secretarygeneral Direkrit Jenkrongtham to type letters to the national police chief and his deputy, saying that Hassawut backed Pol LtColonel Chutharet Yingyongdamrongkul as superintendent of Hua Mark Police Station.
