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.
